Hiatus Kaiyote, the hugely influential thrice-GRAMMY-nominated band with 300 million combined streams to date, return with a new deluxe version of ‘Choose Your Weapon’.
Comprised of Naomi ‘Nai Palm’ Saalfield (guitar, vocals), Paul Bender (bass), Simon Mavin (keyboards), and Perrin Moss (drums), Hiatus Kaiyote debuted internationally in 2012 with ‘Tawk Tomahawk’, which includes the GRAMMY-nominated track ‘Nakamarra’ (featuring Q-Tip). Their second LP, ‘Choose Your Weapon’ in 2015, hit #11 on Billboard’s Top R&B / Hip-Hop Albums chart and led to another GRAMMY nod for ‘Breathing Underwater’. They were the first Australian artist to be nominated for a Grammy in an R&B category.
The band have received overwhelming critical acclaim for their releases and live shows, and have fans in the industry’s leading figures like Prince, Erykah Badu, Doja Cat, Kehlani, Questlove, Lianne La Havas, Willow Smith, Tom Misch, Little Simz, Loyle Carner, Ezra Collective, Floating Points, Virgil Abloh and The
Avalanches, along with tastemakers such as BBC’s Gilles Peterson, KCRW’s Anthony Valadez, DJ Jazzy Jef, Julie Adenuga and Benji B. Their music also found fans in hip-hop, sampled by The Carters (Beyonce & Jay-Z), Kendrick Lamar, Anderson .Paak, Chance The Rapper, and Drake, with whom Nai Palm collaborated on his ‘Scorpion’ album.
Photoluminescent double vinyl with lyric spread gatefold, sticker sheet and bonus 7” including ‘Breathing Underwater (Roman Soto Cello Rework)’ and ‘Making Friends With Studio Owl (Club Mix)’.
