Soothing Music for Troubling Times

'Call of the Islands'  by ÃŒxtahuele (2016)

I just listened to this album and it is every bit as good as their previous release, 'Pagan Rites'.  These guys truly understand the exotica genre in a way that most modern revival groups with their computer generated synth sounds miss.  This music is beautiful, a work of art preformed by people who take their craft seriously.
Music to lounge by the pool to, to armchair travel on a cold rainy night - it's the perfect soundtrack for a quiet drink in a dark tiki bar.  There’s a relaxed, comforting feel to the music, a breezy island soundtrack, where you can just give yourself over to the music. If you let it, 'Call of the Islands' will transport you wherever you’d like to go.
