For a young artist who exudes growing confidence from each release, The Death Of You & I is Isaac at his most characterful and accomplished, and “One Night” is another singular example of what he’s doing so beautifully.
The Death of You & I EP was largely recorded at London’s Eastcote Studios, and whilst it doesn’t signal a change of direction from Isaac’s output to date, it certainly suggests a versatility and alternate side of his character. The roaring title track, with its unexpected, theatrical chorus line, sounds as though it could be soundtracking an old spaghetti western before exploding with rage.
“Silhouettes of You” which follows is a soaring widescreen anthem of quite dizzying proportions. It doesn’t simply scrape the sky so much as slowburns through it. It’s the lighters/mobile backlights aloft scorcher that should soundtrack ‘moments’ the globe over. A staggering anthem.
With the release here of “One Night” and the EP’s conclusion, the tender “Love” (Ain’t Always So Good), a more hushed folksy story that mostly resembles the earlier tracks that featured on Isaac’s introductory EPs, it’s a record that signals a fascinating step forward for the young London based musician.
Tender and charming, it’s the sound of a young poet comfortable with dropping his words onto a page and re-arranging them emphatically. Isaac orbits a musical world that is almost oversubscribed with talented young voices, but in truth he acts as the antidote to all of them. A characterful modern musician who takes the tested inspirations of love and hurt, and portrays it vividly with that moreish, keening vocal of his. He’s the real deal.
