Hawaii is the third studio album by the Anglo-Irish avant-pop band the High Llamas, released on 25 March 1996 on the band's Alpaca Park label.[5] The arrangements of Hawaii incorporate more electronic sounds than its predecessor Gideon Gaye (1994),[6] while its lyrics loosely address themes of nomadism, nostalgia, film and musical theatre, and the effects of colonialism

On the album's influences, music critic Tim Page writes: "Here, in no particular order, we find flashes of Wilson, Henry Mancini, harpsichord flourishes, 'Ramona'-style Mexican American music (complete with mariachi pulses and firefly strings), melodies that would sound just right around a campfire, swooning Hawaiian guitars, long trumpet solos that would have done Bunny Berigan proud, and just about everything else -- layer upon layer." - Wikipedia
