Ramshackle constructed pop with odd rhythms and ultra-effected vocals. Solex main woman Elisabeth Esselink runs a used record store in Amsterdam and gets her samples out of the dollar bin. Sounds like she's raiding the big band, country and 60's pop sections these days - lots of swingy drums, slide guitar and space-age sounds here. This is great shit, quite recommended to fans of Kid Koala-style sample fuckery as well as popsters. 1. skittery beat, woonky bass, harmonica and flute samples 2. clicks and chimes, slinky guitar - an avant-surf band in a clock factory > 3. organ! and some oh-oh-ohs > 4. Phil Spectorish - big echoey drums and harmony vox 5. spy horns, rubbery reverb 6. big-band drums and piano, muted vox 7. funk piano and sly horns > 8. revving guitar 9. brushed cymbal gives it a jazzy air 10. beeps and beats, slide guitar, horns > 11. has a quasi-ye-ye vavoom to it 12. piano loop, standup bass, horns - a pop song from jazz pieces 13. jerky and repetetive 14. drama! short. > 15. great swing to it | ||
