  The Laughing Stock of Indie Rock is the fourth studio album by Solex. It was released via Arena Rock Recording Company on September 28, 2004.
  
  ## 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." Zeth Lundy of PopMatters said, "Solex does not write orthodox songs or function as an acceptable DJ for your next house party." 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."
