StrangeFlow Had to get their first release too (of course!). Amazinng modern exotica, really tasteful compositions and tasteful performed. Would love to see them live some day, their live videos on youtube are amazing. Favorite track: Black Sand.

nerrik The first song I heard from this album was on "The Retro Cocktail Hour" broadcast originally from Kansas Public Radio (it can also be streamed online and is a pretty good source of exotica). I honestly don't remember which song it was because I looked them up shortly after and listened to it a few times over the next couple days. Instantly hooked. This is tied with Voyage Beneath the Sea for my favorite of their discography. Nice vibes, bird calls, low-key piano, and other weird percussion.

  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    Mystery colored vinyl (a unique and kooky mix-up from an exotic palette) and limited edition of 600 copies only! Pagan Rites is a breathtakingly exotic tone poem that will make any Tiki bar come alive.

    Ìxtahuele – the modern masters of exotica – legendary debut album Pagan Rites finally back in print! Release date August 30, 2024.

    From the mystical realms of a secluded ancient island, rising from the icy spray of the forbidden northern waters, comes the haunting, savage beat of a mysterious and primitive ritual. In this forgotten place, awash with wonder and enigma, echoing with the booming of sharkskin drums and bone rattles, the rock speaks with the voice of the gods. Weaving strange and terrifying tales, and tales of beauty and joy,

     The aim of the group is to provide the perfect soundtrack to bring your mind’s eye on a time-traveling, round-the-world trip; taking you to faraway exotic islands, lost lands, and ancient cities – bringing back the Ottoman Empire, Port Royal, or even the mythical continent of Mu.

    Ìxtahuele try to push the limits of where they can take you while still staying true to the genre; because after all the true armchair traveler can’t make the Hawaiian Village the destination for every trip, but must also go to the Amazon, Micronesia, the Middle East, the Caribbean, and Indochina.  All aboard!

ÌXTAHUELE is a Swedish exotica band. They come from Gothenburg; a damp, foggy harbor town that ever since its founding in the early 17th century has been an international melting pot, associated with exotic, faraway destinations ever since the days of the East India Trading Companies. ... more
