Introducing.. Jamie Isaac
There’s something disconcertingly authentic about the fading piano chords on which Jamie Isaac’s debut release ‘Intro/Drowning Roots’ is built; stretches of silence and thundering keys reverberate across 7 minutes, climaxing (almost) twice as it runs its course, wise whispers breaking up such deep conceptuality in to something perhaps more grounded in human emotion than their lacking might have conveyed.
Isaac’s age, now 17, is not the only external feature which comes as a great surprise. His presence as a recording artist is similarly fresh. His first ever utterance ‘Intro/Drowning Roots’ dropped only last week, his first piece of press hailing in timely fashion from Crack In The Road, who’s comments are similarly, and justifiably, praising. To paraphrase, a weak James Blake comparison may well be inevitable, though in this case such deliberate under-production gives off a very real, honest and grounded aesthetic rarely felt.. Excellent debut.
