"One Louder Solex" comes from Solex vs. the Hitmeister, the debut album from the Dutch musician Solex, which Matador released on 10 March 1998. The credit line couldn't be shorter: Elisabeth Esselink wrote it, words and music.
The record around it drew praise for its strange stew of beats, samples and voice. AllMusic's Heather Phares heard something insular, inventive and deeply personal, and Entertainment Weekly's David Browne found that the clattering, echo-soaked music made her tales of romantic and physical obsession all the eerier. Fact later placed it at number 28 on a 2015 rundown of trip hop's finest albums.
