“This Week’s Best Albums” // ALARM Magazine [Review]

More praise for our new album… ALARM Magazine names Adventures in Paradise as one of “This Week’s Best Albums“:

picture-4Celebrating the 50th anniversary of Hawaii’s statehood, the Waitiki 7 balances a thematic tribute to Martin Denny and musical stars of yore with piano-driven Latin sounds, modern jazz, lounge, and film motifs. Adventures in Paradise, as the name suggests, could double as the soundtrack for a cheery private-dick mystery flick, calling upon exotic vocal calls, flute, horns, and vibraphone to create just the right mood.—Scott Merrow

And some kind remarks from CampusCircle.com:

campus_circle_logo I was pleasantly surprised with the ancient yet melodic sound found on the band’s new album, Adventures in Paradise. The songs were reminiscent of a tropical jungle with a hypnotizing blend of animal sounds and instrumental beats.—Grady Winn

  • About The WAITIKI 7

  • The WAITIKI 7 are helping to define a new movement in Exotica.

    Dedicated to the preservation and resurgence of Exotica music, and the related tiki culture, W7 is modeled after the classic groups of Martin Denny, Arthur Lyman, and Gene Rains. The WAITIKI 7 is the only modern group that performs exotica completely live and acoustic—just like in the 1950s.
