Welcome !      Solex Athens, OH Album: Pick Up Genres: Alternative This freaky bit of anti-music is an acquired taste, to be sure. But fans of the avant-garde will find something delicious in this offbeat sonic stew.

Don’t even try to map a cohesive course through the melody, as the path followed here reveals a new sonic turn at every sampled twist. This anti-pop love child of Bjork and Sonic Youth (a la “Bull In The Heather”) doesn’t play by any rules and laughs in the face of compositional conformity. Artist Elisabeth Esselink recorded the song, and the entire album from which it comes, in the basement of her Amsterdam record shop; and though samples are the order of the day, Esselink eschewed her own vinyl resources and recorded most of the sound loops at live shows ranging from classical concerts to heavy metal gigs. “Athens, OH” is an avant-garde outpost on the alterna-pop landscape. Proceed with caution.       Adam Salzman     Adam Salzman is a journalist and songwriter whose work has appeared in Culture Shock Magazine and The Freehand Press, as well as on CD’s by the Regulars, the Adobe Zweig Band, and Hijack St. Helen’s. He remains, at heart, a lonely hillbilly, lost in the urban wilds of Manhattan.   Click here for rules!          Average Rating: One Star Two Stars Three Stars Four Stars Five Stars                                   Enter a review to win an iShriek MP3 Player!   experimental little song. sounds a little cartoonish to me.
