Solex is the pseudonym of singer-songwriter and former Amsterdam record store owner Elisabeth Esselink, who came up with a deft blend of low-key techno and ‘found sounds.’ ‘Solex Versus The Hitmeister’ (1998) was her debut album for Matador and was composed using snippets from crappy, unsellable CDs. In a change of tack, ‘Pick Up’ (1999) was constructed from dozens of recordings that Esselink had secretly made during the gigs of local bands in Amsterdam. It can be considered a variant of a live-album. This extraordinary technique culminates on ‘Low Kick And Hard Bop’ (2001), where she sourced material from old vinyl, television, the better-looking talk show hosts, films, bootlegs, radio, street noises, and animals. Throughout that time, Solex kept great company, performing with my bloody valentine, Cibo Matto, Yo La Tengo, and The Notwist. She has remixed Grizzly Bear, Wire and St. Vincent, and has collaborated with Mike Watt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack listing:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow Kick and Hard Bop\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMere Imposters\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHave You No Shame, Girl?\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot a Hoot!\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnee-High\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHoney (Amsterdam Is Not L.A.)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShoot Shoot!\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComely Row\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEase Up You Fundamentalist!\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Dot on the I Between the H and the T\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGood Comrades Go To Heaven\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCayenne\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOlolo\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou Say Potato, I Say Aardappel!\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLook…No Fingerprints!\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMr. Crockpot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Waiting Room Records","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":45056793215091,"sku":null,"price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0082\/4315\/0908\/files\/Screenshot2026-05-30at12.17.46PM.png?v=1780161476","url":"https:\/\/waitingroomrecords.com\/products\/solex-low-kick-and-hard-bop-preorder-out-9-11","provider":"Waiting Room Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
