Hooray, Bloc Party have gone off and come back all interesting again. Oops, sorry, got the right city but different act ““ Sam Isaac to be precise. Isaac is an independent musician with a penchant for the DIY approach, so much so that his torchsong ‘Sticker, Star and Tape’ has appeared on several releases over his short recording career. Easy to see why though given its ludicrous charm. The tune has been afforded new legs of late thanks to some nifty remixes, the best of which is Rod Thomas’s beat fantastic take. Thomas strips away the guitar bluster and pushes Isaac’s crisp vocals to the fore which if anything adds depth to the composition. I was immediately reminded of Kele Okereke’s uncluttered delivery but as the song progresses you’ll cast off such idle linkages and bask in the glow (his hair is on fire for God’s sake) of a bright new talent.
