Cosmique Hypnotique is a lush new exotica ensemble led by multi-instrumentalist Andy Catlin, conjuring dream states through vibraphones, bongos, and velvet-toned arrangements that echo the golden age of lounge while floating freely into psychedelic reverie. Joined by a rotating constellation of collaborators—including Matt Wood, Sam Cooper, Ben Lau, and the sax-wielding mystic known as Saxsquatch—the group fuses classic tiki instrumentation with shimmering, hypnotic grooves.

Their debut album is a snake-charming drift through coral-soul textures and lava-lit rhythm. Think Martin Denny sipping absinthe on the rings of Saturn. This is Mello Exotica.[info sheet from distr.]
