In 2024 Emily Wurramara released her second album NARA and cemented herself as a powerful indigenous storyteller.
The Warnindhilyagwa woman joined Zan Rowe to Take 5 on the same day her second album was released and the energy in the studio was pumping. It’s very much a record of renewal, and one of Double J's 50 Best Albums of that year.
Listen back to Emily talking about her love of John Fogerty and Cat Power, during her Take 5 on songs of renewal.

31:45 Next week's guest! - This month, Gotye's breakthrough album Like Drawing Blood, turns 20. It was the record that took him from bedroom producer to Hottest 100 favourite, showcasing his incredible talent at sewing sounds. The man behind Gotye, Wally De Backer, has been keeping a low profile for a while. But back in 2007, after a huge year following this album's release, he joined Zan Rowe to Take 5.
This is one of the very first episodes of Take 5, and the first time it's ever appeared on the podcast.
So jump in the time machine and travel back to this mid 2000's moment. It was before Gotye released his worldwide smash "Somebody That I Used to Know", Homebake Festival still existed, MySpace was king, and Wally was at a precipice; head spinning from a wild year but with no idea of what was ahead.
His theme? His top 5 moments of the last 12 months. His songs, all Australian.
Gotye's song choices:
Josh Pyke - Fill You In
Karnivool - Shutterspeed
Faux Pas - For The Trees
Emily Ulman - Upping The Ante
The Presets - Are You The One?
