Our Take

Wrapped in a psychedelic haze of jungle drums and space-age pop, LES BAXTER's "Teen Drums / Young Pops" is a wild ride through the mind of a musical mad scientist. With his trademark mix of exotic rhythms and futuristic sounds, Baxter takes us on a sonic journey that is both strange and mesmerizing.

From the pulsating beats of "Bangkok Cockfight" to the dreamy melodies of "Sunday Blues," Baxter's compositions are a whirlwind of sound that defy easy categorization. This isn't just music - it's a full sensory experience that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about pop.

But it's not just Baxter's innovative arrangements that set this album apart. The performances by his band are tight and energetic, bringing a sense of youthful exuberance to the sometimes otherworldly music. It's like a group of teenagers got their hands on a time machine and decided to take a trip to the future.

In a world of cookie-cutter pop, LES BAXTER stands out as a true original. "Teen Drums / Young Pops" is a testament to his musical vision and a reminder that sometimes the weirdest sounds are the most fascinating. So strap in, turn up the volume, and let LES BAXTER take you on a trip you won't soon forget.

About the artist

Les Baxter

Les Baxter, the man, the myth, the exotica legend. With a career spanning over five decades, Baxter has made a name for himself as one of the most innovative and influential figures in the world of music. Known for his iconic lounge music sound and his pioneering use of different global influences, Baxter has truly left his mark on the industry. Born in Mexia, Texas in 1922, Baxter's musical journey began at a young age when he first started playing piano. He quickly developed a passion for music and went on to study at the Detroit Conservatory of Music before making his way to Los Angeles, where he would ultimately make his mark on the music scene. Baxter's unique blend of jazz, pop, and exotic influences has been praised by critics and fans alike. His 1951 album "Ritual of the Savage" is often cited as one of the defining works of the exotica genre, with its lush arrangements and exotic rhythms capturing the imaginations of listeners around the world. Despite his undeniable talent and influence, Baxter has remained somewhat of a mysterious figure in the music world.

So, whether you're a die-hard fan of exotica music or just looking to expand your musical horizons, Les Baxter is a name you need to know.
