"Exotica" is the first album by Martin Denny released in 1957. It contained Denny's most famous song, "Quiet Village", and spawned an entire genre bearing its name.

It was recorded in Webley Edwards' studio (not, as often reported, the Aluminum Dome at Henry J. Kaiser's Hawaiian Village Complex) in Waikiki in December 1956.

The original album was recorded in mono. It was re-recorded in stereo in 1958; by then, however, Denny's popular sideman Arthur Lyman had left the group (he was replaced by Julius Wechter). Denny preferred the original mono version: "It has the original spark, the excitement, the feeling we were breaking new ground." [cite album-notes
