Template:Album ratings Pick Up is the second studio album by Solex.[1] It was released via Matador Records on September 14, 1999.[2] It peaked at number 34 on CMJ's Radio 200 chart.[3] As with her previous album Solex vs. the Hitmeister (1998), Pick Up is an art pop album that uses samples "in ways that both boggle and seduce".[4]
Reception
Heather Phares of AllMusic gave the album 4 stars out of 5, saying, "Elisabeth Esselink continues to recycle bad music into good, sampling the kitschiest, cheesiest records in her shop and shaping them into her distinctive musical vision."[1] S. Murray of Pitchfork gave the album a 7.6 out of 10, saying, "Pick Up is a strong developmental achievement in the right direction for Solex, and should stand as inspiration for used record store owners the world over."[5] T'Cha Dunlevy of The Gazette called it an unpredictable album where "noise is contorted to suit her melodic ends. Her voice is sweet and dreamy; songs materialize out of abstraction, sounding like they were there all along." They concluded it was a "distinctly creative, skewed and happy album".[4]
