The Huntington Cads "Go Exotic!" 1996

Veering off the path of "surf" and into "lounge", "exotica" and "bachelor pad" music go The Huntington Cads. Chris Barfield & Steve Hill, formerly 2/5ths of The Finks (and the latter also an ex-member of The Kinks-sound-alikes The Witch Doctors) have taken their love for instrumental music in an entirely different direction than their former bandmates (who now call themselves The Bomboras). In this case, the MUSIC is far more outstanding, and deserving of wider attention! - By Henry R. Kujawa ("The Forbidden Zone" (Camden, NJ))The Huntington Cads reside in that void between the Tiki-Tones and Surf, where the waves are reverbin' in the structures, and the lounge is adorned with tikis and torch lanterns. The playing is pretty, luscious, precise, and very clean. Many tracks feature that wet surf guitar lead, and acoustic guitar rhythms, while others feature a Martin Denny vibraphone. Oleaje Exotica Deluxe! This is a well-recorded CD full of great listening, either as a main attraction, or as a bed for a bit of the wine & wrestle. - Phil Dirt / Reverb Centraltrax:
