First released in 2001, this was 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.
