Single Review: Esser – Satisfies (Transgressive Records)
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 10 November 2008
From the cover of this single – Esser in his skeleton jumper with reverse-monk hairstyle and despairing gaze – it’d be easy to confuse this singer with any of the numerous emo soundalikes conspiring to stunt all imagination in anyone under 18 with the inoffensive tedium they pass off as ‘edgy music’. Look closer though, and you notice that Esser, in all his glum glory, happens to be sitting on a toilet (though thankfully not in as graphic detail as Millie Jackson’s infamous ‘Back To The Shit’). An odd location surely, but one that begins to set him apart from any lookalikes – a theme continued in his music. ‘Satisfied’ is an interesting mix of calypso, piano and handclaps that dares to be innovative. Satisfyingly different. TM
