Waitiki 7 - New Sounds OF ExoticaWaitiki 7’s album, “New Sounds of Exotica” is a Mai Tai drinker’s delight. “Ding ding da ding dingding ding ding dingdingding”…. the layering of Fender Rhodes piano over marimba and xylophone, sets the percussive theme throughout the entire set of works. Zaccai Edwards and and Abe Lagrimas Jr. play like they are one person overdubbing themselves.
Tribute is paid to Webley Edwards and Les Baxter through the use of atmospheric sound effects in the first track “Similau” (as is appropriate for this number) and on track 3 “Bali Hai” where a Caribbean flute counterpoint floats over the classic South Pacific tune.
“New Sounds of Exotica” could also do in a pinch in those environments where Trip-Hop is standard fare. While beautiful tropi-lounge, it also has a wonderful diminished chords/minor key flavor to it at times that could go well with the ex shoe gazer turned hipster crowd. “When I First Love” is a good example of this, the meltdown of discernible style lending itself to reflection of the quasi-swanky vibe of the immediate environs.
