Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Low Kick And Hard Bop is possibly Dutch vinyl mistress Solex's most accomplished album to date. Like her previous volumes of found-sound hysteria, Solex has pillaged the recesses of the bargain bins in her Amsterdam record shop with typically fun results that defy categorisation. Solex can dabble in such diverse and bewildering realms as Hawaiian tiki, the game show Wheel of Fortune, and erm, "noisy deaf people", and still manage to find an accessible middle ground. Tunes with brilliantly weird titles such as "Honey (Amsterdam is Not LA)" and "Ease Up You Fundamentalist!" would sit comfortably alongside Beck, the Avalanches, Señor Coconut, or even the Chemical Brothers, while bluesier moments such as the title track wouldn't be that much out of place next to the White Stripes. Of course, all are punctuated with her excellently hyperactive stream-of-consciousness lyrics. We can't exactly pretend that the idea of bargain-bin archaeology is a new one, but Solex's vinyl experiments are unique and cohesive rather than cut-and-paste. She consistently treads the line between fun and kitsch and manages to stick to the right side of both. In short, this is brilliant. --Leslie Gilotti
CD Description
'Low Kick And Hard Bop' is the third album from Dutch solo artist, Solex. Well known for her use of sound collage, 'LowKick And Hard Bop' is another melting pot of field recordings, old vinyl, and general sounds. Combining this with her distinctive vocals, Solex creates true experimental pop music.
