얼터너티브음악으로 분류되며, 매우 미니멀하면서도 독특한 분위기가 특징이다.
일반적인 대중성이라곤 찾아보기 힘든 분위기이지만 빌보드 차트에서 'Somebody That I Used To Know'를 통해서 4월 28일부터 6월 16일까지 8주 연속 8개 부문에서 1위를 차지했으며, 2012년 상반기 칼리 레이 젭슨과 함께 빌보드의 지각변동을 일으켰다. 'Somebody That I Used To Know'의 MV가 독특하다. 조각조각 채워지는 색채가 오묘한 분위기를 만든다. 유명한 패러디로 Some Study That I Used To Know가 있다.
2012년 런던 올림픽 사격 종목중 점수를 확인하는 부분에서 'Somebody That I Used To Know'가 나왔다
2012년 8월 15일 내한 공연을 가졌다. 다음곡은 쉬운 빵봅 또망[3]입니돠
easy way out의 뮤직비디오는 두가지 버전이 있는데, 이중 한가지는 애니메이션으로 되어 있고 시작부부터 '쉬운 방법 도망'이라는 글자가 나온다. 누가 번역해 준거야 대체...구글? 제대로 번역한다면 "쉬운 탈출구" 정도가 된다. easy / way out 인데 easy way / out 으로 번역한 듯.
내한 공연 당시 본인의 대표곡들을 떼창하는 관객들을 보며 엄청나게 감명을 받았다고 한다.
'Somebody That I Used To Know'로 2013년 그래미 어워드에서 RECORD OF THE YEAR과 BEST POP DUO/GROUP PERFORMANCE 부문을, 앨범인 Making Mirrors로 BEST ALTERNATIVE MUSIC ALBUM 부문을을 거머쥐었다.
굉장한 기럭지를 가진 미남이다.
'Somebody That I Used To Know'는 JTBC의 미각스캔들의 아웃트로로 사용되기도 했다.

Somebody That I Used To Know
| Now and then I think of when we were together Like when you said you felt so happy you could die I told myself that you were right for me But felt so lonely in your company But that was love and it's an ache I still remember You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness Like resignation to the end Always the end So when we found that we could not make sense Well you said that we would still be friends But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over But you didn't have to cut me off Make out like it never happened And that we were nothing And I don't even need your love But you treat me like a stranger And that feels so rough No you didn't have to stoop so low Have your friends collect your records And then change your number I guess that I don't need that though Now you're just somebody that I used to know Now you're just somebody that I used to know Now you're just somebody that I used to know Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over But had me believing it was always something that I'd done But I don't wanna live that way Reading into every word you say You said that you could let it go And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know But you didn't have to cut me off Make out like it never happened And that we were nothing And I don't even need your love But you treat me like a stranger And that feels so rough No you didn't have to stoop so low Have your friends collect your records And then change your number I guess that I don't need that though Now you're just somebody that I used to know (Somebody) I used to know (Somebody) Somebody that I used to know (Somebody) I used to know (Somebody) Now you're just somebody that I used to know I used to know That I used to know I used to know Somebody |
