Nai Palm says: “We were like, ‘That would be amazing, but we could never afford it.’" The band eventually engineered a mini-tour to pay for the flights, and both the schlep and the expense ended up yielding a spiritual, tearful experience for the band- the kindness of Verocai and the alchemy of Brazil left them inspired to create two more tracks for the LP in an all-night session. Verocai agreed to add strings and horns and asked if the band would be attending the session in Rio de Janeiro.
Perrin had introduced the band to the work of Brazilian arranger Arthur Verocai, whose self-titled 1970s album, Perrin says, “changed my world.” The song took a transcontinental trip to finish. “It was really exciting and fun to play at the time,” recalls Perrin Moss. The track came together during a session in Australia’s Byron Bay. This is apparent in this first single Hiatus Kaiyote is sharing today, "Get Sun" featuring Arthur Verocai. It wasn't until a trip to Rio de Janeiro in late-2019 to work with legendary Brazilian arranger Arthur Verocai on "Get Sun" that the vibe of the entire album shifted. Her lyrics, even those written before her illness, took on a prescient quality. As Nai recovered, the band turned back to their work with altered perspectives. Nai rushed back to Australia and into the hospital, where she underwent a life-saving mastectomy. Her mother’s death from the same disease was never far from her mind. Then, during a brief swing through the U.S., Hiatus’s frontwoman was diagnosed with breast cancer. By the fall of 2018, backing tracks had largely been laid, ready for Nai’s vocals. The six year journey of the album originally began on the road, as they began to add new material to their live sets in while touring in support of Choose Your Weapon. Behind everything is Hiatus’ familiar sense of musical adventure, their knack for making the complex sound simple. The result is an album that relaxes into a groove: sunlit, sublime, masterful. Arthur Verocai)" The new album has been in the making for six years, but that interval reflects more hustle than hiatus. The announcement of Mood Valiant also comes alongside the first single "Get Sun (feat. Paak, Chance The Rapper, and Drake-with whom Nai Palm collaborated on his Scorpion album. The new project comes after being sampled on songs by The Carters (Beyonce & Jay-Z), Kendrick Lamar, Anderson. Comprised of Naomi “Nai Palm” Saalfield (guitar, vocals), Paul Bender (bass), Simon Mavin (keys), and Perrin Moss (drums), the new album is the follow up to their 2015 album Choose Your Weapon, which Rolling Stone described as "a stunning step up". Of course, not knowing there was a big pandemic coming, the context of the ‘red room’ now and what that means to everyone sitting in isolation is kind of relevant.Twice Grammy nominated, Melbourne-based group Hiatus Kaiyote returns to announce their new album Mood Valiant.
We were warm, we were in another country. When the sun set in my room at a certain hour my whole room was red.”ĭrummer Perrin Moss added that “Red Room” came together quicker than any other song Hiatus Kaiyote has made: “Essentially it was just having fun, man. In a statement, Saalfield explained the inspiration behind “Red Room,” saying, “My vocal booth had a red light in it, and I was thinking about my old house that had all this red-colored glass in it. The track also arrives with a music video, directed by Tré Koch, that finds Hiatus Kaiyote in a room that increasingly - and fittingly - turns red, including an old car with “Mood Valiant” scribbled all over it, which pops from white to red in the final moments of the clip. The tune toes the line between slinky and woozy lo-fi soul, with tight bass and drums, winding guitar, and languid piano flowing beneath Naomi “Nai Palm” Saalfield’s vocals. Australian outfit Hiatus Kaiyote have released a new song, “Red Room,” from their upcoming album, Mood Valiant, out June 25th via Brainfeeder Records/Ninja Tune.
