Idiot Fingerz by Esh & The Isolations
The haphazard sonics on Idiot Fingerz are crafted in the style of the 1987 Max Headroom Incident. The LP - Written produced, and arranged by frontman Esh - plays like the ranting of a masked recluse on pirated airwaves, manically weaving poetic ruminations with childish buffoonery - all fed through the hiss of a broken tube amp. It explores concepts of Identity, wealth, & seclusion, over production that ranges from kinetic synth-punk to grime-ball boom-bap and trap. Esh’s lyrics are razor-sharp, and shift from heartfelt to scathingly sardonic fluidly.
