Vinyl, First Pressing!
Available on vinyl for the first time EVER: Solex and Matador Records celebrate 25 years of "Low Kick And Hard Bop". First released in 2001, it is the third album by Amsterdam-based songwriter and one-time record shop owner, Elisabeth Esselink. Here, her sampler-driven found-sound retro-futurist style came into full stride with hooks sourced from dusty vinyl, TV, radio, and street noise. A generation later, "Low Kick" remains an ebullient work of retro-futurist pop - layered breaks splitting turf with bluesy riffs, girl group grooves, and surrealist swagger. Way back then, The Wire called it "a dizzying array of elements and exuberance", and we dare you to argue otherwise. As the compact disc was the dominant physical format of that era, Matador never got around to releasing "Low Kick And Hard Bop on vinyl". This is a situation they have chosen to remedy as the record strides toward its third decade, with this first-time vinyl pressing.
