Available on vinyl for the first time EVER: Solex and Matador Records celebrate 25 years of ‘Low Kick and Hard Bop’

Low Kick and Hard Bop’ (2001) is the 3rd album by Amsterdam songwriter and one-time record store owner, Elisabeth Esselink. Here, her sampler-driven found-sound futurist style came into full stride with hooks sourced from dusty vinyl, TV, radio, and street noise. The title track builds bluesy swagger and low end rumble via layered breaks. Matador’s 25th anniversary reissue adds long lost cut, “Mr. Crockpot.” “A dizzying array of elements and exuberance,” wrote The Wire
