Skip Heller is the true heir-apparent of exotica, having been mentored by legends Les Baxter<\/strong> and Robert Drasnin<\/strong> and his work with Yma Sumac<\/strong>, Korla Pandit<\/strong>, and many others. His work as a film and TV composer includes stints with Dexter’s Laboratory<\/strong>, The Flintstones<\/strong>, The Bernie Mac Show<\/strong>, and several Disney<\/strong> TV programs. “Lua-O-Milo”<\/strong><\/em> (Hawaiian for “isle of darkness”) is the first time Heller has gone all-out exotic for an entire disc, and what a voyage it is, a sort of tiki noir tribute to Baxter and Drasnin, but with touches of everything from film noir to Wall of Voodoo<\/strong>. Featuring a diverse cast of musicians including Robert Drasnin and X drummer DJ Bonebrake<\/strong>, “Lua-O-Milo”<\/em> is likely the most significant exotica disc by a new artist since the genre’s Kennedy-era heyday.<\/p>\n

Features cover art by Canadian pop-surrealist artist Heather Watts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Track list:
\n1. The Collector
\n2. Mona Is Typing
