Quasimodo’s Dream, the 1981 classic by The Reels; voted number 10 in the top Australian songs of all time by APRA has now been reinterpreted by Gotye, with Perfect Tripod (featuring Eddie Perfect & Tripod).
A limited vinyl release of this song includes a special collaboration by internationally acclaimed visual artist Patricia Piccinini.
SLAM approached Gotye to represent them as a SLAMbassador after he’d just caught Tripod’s show at the Sydney Opera House. Gotye, better known as Wally, was taken by the idea that Tripod were working with Eddie Perfect on a show of Acapella renditions of the classic Australian songbook and the seed was planted for the group’s version of Quasimodo’s Dream.
