Description

Hot on the heels of the original Exotica, this 1957 follow-up helped cement Martin Denny as the architect of the exotica sound.

Exotica Vol. 2 expands on everything that made the first record iconic — hypnotic rhythms, vibraphone melodies, and immersive, faraway soundscapes that defined the mid-century lounge era.

Tracks like “Singing Bamboos,” “Rush Hour in Hong Kong,” and “Soshu Night Serenade” blend Polynesian-inspired textures with a space-age twist, creating that unmistakable transportive vibe.

This limited reissue from Jackpot Records is pressed on tropical green vinyl, making it just as visually striking as it is essential for the turntable.

Perfect for late-night listening, cocktail hours, or setting the tone in your own tiki space.
