Innovative popster Esser’s biography is certainly intriguing. In his own words: "When I was fairly young I managed to wear two ties to school. One on top and one underneath my shirt. But look at me now!" Yes indeed. Look at you now, Mr Esser. You've just been on sell-out tours with The Kaiser Chiefs, Foals and The Mystery Jets, you've signed to the cooler-than-cool Transgressive Records and you've been championed by the likes of Soulwax and Zane Lowe. Well done.
The two-tie days may be behind him, but with tracks such as "Headlock", "Satisfied" and "I Love You" already getting plenty of airplay on Radio 1 and MTV2, we're not surprised that his crazy muxed ip concoction of eclectic samples, cantering beats and joyously effortless vocals have established him as THE big tip of 2009 on every top tipsters tipping lips. Mmm.
