Exai is the eleventh album by electronic music duo Autechre, released on Warp Records. The album was released in digital form on 7 February 2013, with the double CD and quadruple vinyl versions released on 5 March 2013. Like other Autechre albums, Exai features album artwork by The Designers Republic.
Exai has received positive reviews, with a Metacritic average rating of 80% based on twenty-three reviews. Grayson Currin of Pitchfork Media thought the album had some good moments, but was too long at two hours, and would have been improved by more editing and trimming. Chris Power of BBC Music was more enthusiastic, calling the album Autechre's best in fifteen years.
All tracks written by Sean Booth and Rob Brown.
