The Laughing Stock of Indie Rock is the fourth studio album by Solex.[3] It was released via Arena Rock Recording Company on September 28, 2004.[1]

Reception

Heather Phares of AllMusic gave the album 3.5 stars out of 5, calling it "[Solex's] most straightforward, accessible collection of songs yet."[1] Zeth Lundy of PopMatters said, "Solex does not write orthodox songs or function as an acceptable DJ for your next house party."[2] He added, "The Laughing Stock of Indie Rock falls somewhere in between the two, a mash-up of thick, freaky beats and horn-rimmed bedroom indie rock."[2]
