Hiatus Kaiyote

Experimental sounds, unconventional harmonies, creative melodies, and undeniable groove , Hiatus Kaiyote lives in ”post-genre” future world that we’re just not hip enough to travel to yet. Built on a foundation of jazz, hip-hop, soul, and pop, Hiatus Kaiyote stands apart from the sea of fusion groups with the effortlessly cool vocals from singer and guitarist Nai Palm. While Palm’s vocals float above the complex music happening underneath, drummer Perrin Moss creates pockets so deep you might lose your keys in them. Not to be outdone, bassist Paul Bender and keyboardist Simon Maven anchor down increasingly adventurous harmonies with a wide variety of tones and textures. Feel free to try and define Hiatus Kaiyote, buy the beauty of their music is the spaces in-between the definitions.

Originally from Melbourne, Hiatus Kaiyote has become a frequent sight at premiere venues and festivals across the world. In 2015, they released their second album “Choose Your Weapon” to universal acclaim, including a Grammy nomination for Best R&B Performance for the single “Breathing Underwater”. Their long-awaited third album, “Mood Valiant”, promises to be another exploration for the group. “Mood Valiant” is out June 25th, 2021.
