Don't ask me to pronounce his name, but a chap from Norway had just released* one of the most spectacular neo-exotica albums in recent memory. We're talkin full-on lush Les Baxter-like orchestrations, the kind rarely made nowadays, mixed with modern experimentation. Clearly, no expense was spared.

It's all probably a little too dramatic (and strange) for basic tiki bar background sounds, tho anyone should like gorgeous tracks like "Out of the Jungle" or "Starry Night."

It will be performed live in the Bay Area, June 6: https://www.otherminds.org/exotica/ Hope they come to LA!

*oops, actually it came out in 2019.
