Sam Isaac

Sam Isaac是来自英国伦敦的新人，Sam Isaac的音乐被NME特别点评为“ "Beautiful, pounding love pop. Writing anthems that sound a little like Oasis if they'd listened to Vashti Bunyan rather than Slade" 。在其他英国媒体中也是享有新星的美誉，甜美的音乐之类的评价很多 The Sam Isaac world is a warm and inviting one. A place where friends make artwork, do recording, direct music videos and carry clipboards. Perfect strangers sell his CDs, promote shows and join the ranks. Sam's part of the bargain is donning an acoustic guitar and making the music to lead the troops. It's not just been bedroom DIY which has fuelled the Sam Isaac flames: in 2007 he was chosen as one of four unsigned acts to play BBC Electric Proms. He played - with a string quartet - as support for Edwyn Collins' comeback gig. He has also been hand picked as support for Scouting For Girls, King Creosote, Ben's Brother and Kate Walsh. In March of last year, Radio 1 asked him to play their Introducing... night showcasing the best new talent for 2008, alongside bands like The Ting Tings and Dan le Sac vs Scroobius Pip. During the same month, he released his second single "Fire Fire" on singles label Another Music = Another Kitchen, which garnered him daytime playlist positions on both Xfm and 6Music, further plays from Jo Whiley, Zane Lowe, and Huw Stephens, an "In The Company Of" half hour interview on Colin Murray's show and an Xfm Music:Response session. Last summer once again saw Sam a fixture at almost every festival from V to Big Chill via Boring By The Sea and Latitude alongside acts such as KT Tunstall, Athlete, the Pigeon Detectives and the Futureheads. He wrapped 2008 up by releasing a 5-track EP combined with a headline performance for the Channel 4/NME JD Set, a handful of shows in Sweden and a tour of Club NME dates. Having finished his debut album, Bears, at the end of last year and releasing the first single, 'Come Back Home Tonight', from it independently at the start of March '09, Sam Isaac is looking forward to another run of prestigious festival slots and a substantial UK tour to promote the album. www.myspace.com/samisaac Quotes: Jo Whiley (Radio 1): "esoteric, tuneful soothing stuff...LOVE that record.
