▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Everything you know about Solex remains true: The ▓▌
▓████▓▌ one-woman juggernaut ▓▌
▓████▓▌ otherwise known as Elisabeth Esselink creates her ▓▌
▓████▓▌ percolating rock tunes ▓▌
▓████▓▌ out of samples and loops; in her spare time, she ▓▌
▓████▓▌ runs a record shop in Amsterdam; ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and sheÆs a blazing wit whose music, lyrics and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ song titles betray a cutting sense of humor. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ The Laughing Stock of Indie Rock, SolexÆs first new ▓▌
▓████▓▌ album since 2001Æs Low Kick ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and Hard Bop, thus provides continuity, but there ▓▌
▓████▓▌ are also quite a few ▓▌
▓████▓▌ new tricks up the proverbial Solex sleeve. Expect ▓▌
▓████▓▌ to hear live instrumentation, male vocals and a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ record-closing space jam that extends nearly seven ▓▌
▓████▓▌ minutes on the fourth full-length from Solex (the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ first for The Arena Rock Recording Company). ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ So, what has Ms. Esselink been doing for the past ▓▌
▓████▓▌ three years? æIÆve ▓▌
▓████▓▌ been touring a bitÆ, she explains. æPlus, I did a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ collaboration with a Dutch ▓▌
▓████▓▌ group called The Maarten Altena Ensemble. I made a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ piece that was meant ▓▌
▓████▓▌ to be played live with 25 cell phones. I also did ▓▌
▓████▓▌ sound for some Dutch ▓▌
▓████▓▌ scientific TV programs. Stuff like...when a little ▓▌
▓████▓▌ boy peed...you would hear Niagra Falls.Æ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Such cleverness carries over to The Laughing Stock ▓▌
▓████▓▌ of Indie Rock, which ▓▌
▓████▓▌ kicks off with the rollicking, horn-laced æYadda ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Yadda Yadda No. 1Æ, then ▓▌
▓████▓▌ moves through other amusingly titled, intricately ▓▌
▓████▓▌ crafted songs such as ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the loping, laid-back æFold Your Hands Child You ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Walk Like An EgyptianÆ, of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ which Esselink quips, æI imagined Stuart Murdoch ▓▌
▓████▓▌ (of Belle & Sebastian) in a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ line dance with The Bangles.Æ For many of the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ songs, the well-known sample ▓▌
▓████▓▌ manipulator recorded guitar, drum and bass parts, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ then spliced them into ▓▌
▓████▓▌ memorable melodies, jolting rhythms and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ irresistible grooves. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Esselink provides a range of vocals herself, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ singing, half-talking or crooning ▓▌
▓████▓▌ as the mood dictates but thereÆs also deep-voiced ▓▌
▓████▓▌ accompaniment by a man ▓▌
▓████▓▌ on some tracks although his name and origins are ▓▌
▓████▓▌ murky. Who is he? ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ÆAn Australian guy that I've never metÆ, says ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Esselink. æThe only ▓▌
▓████▓▌ thing I know about him is that he's about six feet ▓▌
▓████▓▌ tall and incredibly sexy. After ▓▌
▓████▓▌ he'd heard some Solex music, he sent me a disc with ▓▌
▓████▓▌ only his vocals. It ▓▌
▓████▓▌ was him singing the entire æWhite AlbumÆ by the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Beatles.Æ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Whoever he is, Esselink puts him to good use on The ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Laughing Stock of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ IndieRock. The albumÆs finale, æYouÆve Got MeÆ, is ▓▌
▓████▓▌ an otherworldly duet ▓▌
▓████▓▌ that begins with drums and slide guitar, then ▓▌
▓████▓▌ blossoms into a dreamy soundscape ▓▌
▓████▓▌ that evolves into a riff-driven stomp. It caps a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ stellar comeback effort that ▓▌
▓████▓▌ will thrill old Solex fans and attract new ▓▌
▓████▓▌ converts, all of whom will wonder ▓▌
▓████▓▌ at how she creates such intriguing sounds and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ fantastic hooks. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ How does she do it? æI don't really work on itÆ, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Esselink says. æEvery now and then I ▓▌
▓████▓▌ get luckyÆ. ▓▌
