A lush, cinematic journey through an imagined day at a luxurious seaside retreat. Hotel Paradiso is the latest from Brooklyn composer and keyboardist Moon Mullins—his most ambitious exotica suite to date. Inspired by the moods and musings of a mysterious traveler, the album blends vintage synths and acoustic textures with help from Molly Lewis, Sam Evian, and Oliver Hill. Think Henry Mancini meets Ryuichi Sakamoto in an art-deco dreamscape. From spectral whistles and swaying strings to dreamy drum machine rhythms, Mullins crafts each track like a scene from a film. Whether it's the sultry sway of “Sandpearl” or the midnight glow of “Lobby at 3,” every moment hums with escapist elegance. A rare modern exotica gem, perfect for late-night lounges, afternoon aperitifs, and wandering minds.
