If you like smoothed-out sounds and samples of tropicalia or exotica-adjacent music, Monster Rally has 3 LPs on sale for $14.99 at Newbury Comics in exclusive colorways. Newbury has a slew of their releases in exclusive pressings - these had been out of print a while and are worth picking up if you like this stuff.

For the sale: https://www.newburycomics.com/collections/newbury-exclusives-1499-and-under (hint: use the LOAD MORE button at the bottom to keep going)

For all Monster Rally at Newbury: https://www.newburycomics.com/collections/vendors?q=Monster%20Rally (note: you won't see the sale prices on the 3 titles until you click to their respective pages - Crystal Ball, Return to Paradise, & Adventures on the Floating Island)

I have no connection to Newbury or MR; just like these records and think some of you will too. Here's a sample: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yv-bFCsudGw

Aloha,

Rupe

Tripxotica is an excellent term! I love it! They are quite an interesting group. They performed in summer of 2022 in Los Angeles but I was unable to make it to their show. I hope they return.

Hey @Digitiki - I wasn't far off!

Had an email conversation with Ted (the man behind Monster Rally), who says he describes his music as "tropical hip hop, influenced by exotica." Combine all that together = tripxotica!

Oh wow that's cool!!!
