The countdown to the album drop climaxed with the release of the official video of the 1st single - an absolutely stunning & trippy, retrofuturistic sci-fi film that includes space travel, flying velociraptors, a fluffy sun, and the already famous station wagon: In March they announced they join the renowned Flying Lotus's label Brainfeeder and dropped " Get Sun" (featuring Brazilian legend Arthur Verocai), and then they also released the surprisingly slow jam " Red Room" and the sexy " Chivalry Is Not Dead" - three different tracks, showing the variety of their music but all with that special Hiatus Kaiyote touch of experimental jazz & heartfelt soul. And it was also the right time for Nai Palm, Paul Bender (bass), Simon Mavin (keys), and Perrin Moss (drums)'s new album, Mood Valiant, to see the light of the world - channeling all those troubles into positive emotions. And a global pandemic.īut 2021 appears to be the start of a healing process.
For Australian nu-jazz/future-soul band Hiatus Kaiyote, and especially for their lead singer Nai Palm, the past half-decade, since their acclaimed 2015 album Choose Your Weapon, was a roller-coaster - a busy touring schedule, lots of new creative ideas & music writing, as well as fighting breast cancer and coping with the loss of her dear rescue bird, Charlie.
