Hiatus Kaiyote Choose Your Weapon Album Download Hiatus Kaiyote – Mood Valiant hiatus kaiyote choose your weapon album download Hiatus Kaiyote – Mood Valiant. Hiatus Kaiyote’s first album in six years offers new dimensions to an already multi-dimensional band. Effortlessly inventive, inspiringly life-affirming, and unlike anything else you’ll hear this year. A lot has happened for Hiatus Kaiyote since 2015’s Choose Your Weapon, their second album. Their hard-to-categorise sound went global, especially after being sampled by musical elite like Drake , Kendrick Lamar , Beyoncé and Jay-Z . They’ve also signed to Brain Feeder, the esteemed label of Flying Lotus and Thundercat . Pretty good going for a group of self-professed music nerds. More significantly, as the Melbourne-based ensemble experienced unprecedented exposure and success, game-changing frontwoman Naomi ‘Nai Palm’ Saalfield was going through tough times. In late 2018, she was diagnosed with breast cancer, which claimed the life of her mother. She beat it but not after a mastectomy and the death of her beloved rescue bird, Charlie. Profound loss prompted deep self-reflection and Nai, ever the powerful spirit, poured it into art that’s celebratory rather than stricken by grief. “I guess the biggest lesson for me was facing my mortality,” she said on ABC TV’s The Set earlier this year. “When your cage is rattled, there’s this urgency to give your full self… It’s a blessing you know, because you really experience gratitude for your life, and it wakes you up.” That sense of life-affirming vibrancy is laid bare on Mood Valiant , an intoxicating listen that finds Nai and her equally talented bandmates – keys wiz Simon Mavin , drummer Perrin Moss , and bassist Paul Bender – further flexing their ridiculous skill but also wrangling their cosmic scope into songs rich with feeling.

Recorded between pre-COVID sessions in Rio de Janeiro and the band’s Melbourne home studio, Mood Valiant isn’t as explosively proggy as past work. The album dials down some of the complexities but none of the innovation; it’s still just as dangerously groovy and sonically stunning. ‘Get Sun’ bristles with lively horns and strings, arranged by revered Brazilian composer Arthur Verocai , but its melodies and lyrical conceit are inviting. A mood reinforced by the playful Grey Ghost -directed music video that’s bursting with imagination. ‘Chivalry Is Not Dead’ is a kaleidoscopic ode to getting busy, using urgent, infectious rhythms to buoy Nai Palm’s riffs on the mating rituals of leopard slugs, seahorses, and hummingbirds. Meanwhile, ‘Red Room’ slinks along on irresistible atmosphere and groove (just begging to be flipped by a hip-hop artist). It is arguably the simplest song Hiatus Kaiyote have ever recorded. It’s also one of their best. FireFox NVDA users - To access the following content, press 'M' to enter the iFrame. Mixing jazz, hip-hop, funk, RnB, soul, and beyond, Hiatus Kaiyote’s music has always defied easy categorisation but it’s never hard to appreciate. There’s a whole mirrorball of sounds to discover on Mood Valiant , all threaded together by staples of the Hiatus sound – sublime rhythmic feel, inventive arrangements, and Nai Palm’s mystically woven melodies and vocal harmonies. The band’s heady noodling and technical wizardry can be overwhelming – dazzling you with tricky time signatures and sudden shifts in mood – but Mood Valiant is a little more forgiving. Even at its most intricate, it radiates warmth and doesn’t sound like it has as much to prove. (Guess that’s what getting the stamp of approval from hip hop royalty will do for your confidence). FireFox NVDA users - To access the following content, press 'M' to enter the iFrame. The record’s strongest moments are when the four-piece slow down and ease into things. The sticky RnB groove of ‘And We Go Gentle’ allows Nai’s voice to unfurl like velvet taffy, while ‘All The Words We Don’t Say’ deploys the titular phrase as a chant that rattles around rhythmic hooks, and then a triumphant chorus worthy of Aretha Franklin ’s gospel revelry. Polyrhythms drive ‘Rosewater’ until the track allows itself space in the climax to return to the airy piano that opened it – drifting away as Nai breathily offers ‘ all of my heart’. ‘Stone or Lavendar’ is just as gorgeous – an ivory-and-strings adorned balled that perfects a mood Hiatus have rarely done: unabashedly tender. Mood Valiant shows us a more human side to this superhuman musical force, emphasising the soul in their soulful commitment to musical curiosity and artful expression. Here’s praying we don’t wait another six years for their next masterpiece.

Blood And Marrow (3:30) Hiatus Kaiyote: Choose Your Weapon review – psychedelic adventure land. P aul Bender, the bassist with Melbourne’s “future soul” band Hiatus Kaiyote, describes his band’s second album Choose Your Weapon as a “huge, massive, complex puzzle”. He’s not far wrong. Over 18 tracks and 70 minutes, the four-piece touch upon modern jazz, polyrhythmic time structures, labyrinthine explorations of 1970s funk, scat-singing, samba, West African soul, pastoral prog rock in the style of Weather Report and Gentle Giant, sprawling electric fusion and elemental rhythms. Whether or not you want to unlock its mysteries is up to you. In some places (Prince Minikid, the florid and ever-changing Atari) it feels like all those strange electronic flourishes that artists such as Beyoncé and Stevie Wonder (notably on Innervisions) use to fill the spaces between the chart-topping hits, and casually bewitch their fans. In others (the single Breathing Underwater) this is the sort of psychedelic mesmerising adventure land populated by similar exploratory jazz fusion artists such as Annette Peacock and Erykah Badu. Much of this is down to the group’s main life force, Nai Palm (the stage name of Naomi Saalfield, whose voice and guitar twist and turn, swoop, dart and flutter through a bewildering array of supple melodies and counter-counter-harmonics and fitful key changes. Just as you feel the group have settled into a groove, just for a second, off they spin and spiral into 20 others. Listening to Choose Your Weapon can hover between delirium and frustration, delight and outright annoyance, often in the very same beat. A song like the frantic Swamp Thing, with its layers of intricate piano notes and funked-out bass, moves on too fast for pause but then … bam! The mellow Fingerprints takes the mood somewhere else entirely. This is a love letter to the whole of nature, a self-indulgent trip to the other side of consciousness, an experience you have to fully immerse yourself in to appreciate. And the meanings behind the songs are as varied and spatial as the music itself. Breathing Underwater is a homage to the “different examples of love and compassion in the world that are beyond the limitation of romance”, says Palm. The singer uses imagery like the Jericho rose to depict this – an African resurrection plant that can survive dormant without water for more than a century, but blooms within minutes after rain. Other tracks have equally as exotic roots. Jekyll, featuring some virtuoso free jazz percussion from the drummer, Perrin Moss, and typically disorienting fills from the synthesiser-player, Simon Mavin, flusters and flurries, searching for some peace of mind. The trippy funk-soul throwback, Borderline With My Atoms, feels like the band is channelling 30 or 40 years of soul into a six-minute song. The multi-instrumentalist/composer Miguel Atwood-Ferguson lends his one-man orchestra to the expansive interlude The Lung. Molasses is musical treacle. Shaolin Monk Motherfunk is some weird-shit boogie. Only Time All the Time: Making Friends With Studio Owl is self- explanatory. This album is the follow-up to Tawk Tomahawk, the 2013 debut which spawned the Q-Tip collaboration Nakamarra, the song that caused Hiatus Kaiyote to become the first ever Australian act to be nominated for an R&B Grammy. That one was recorded after the band had been together for six months. This one was put together after two world tours, and written everywhere. Goddess alone knows what they’re going to be like after another five years. Hiatus Kaiyote’s Life-Affirming, Genre-Defying Cosmic Soul. In the six years between the Australian band’s albums, its singer and guitarist, Naomi Saalfield, was treated for breast cancer, and recovered. By Marcus J. Moore. The Australian band Hiatus Kaiyote emerged in 2013 with an amorphous sound that pulled in rock, funk and soul, and caught the ear of Questlove, Erykah Badu and Q-Tip. Drake was listening, too: In 2017, he sampled a song from the band’s second LP for his playlist “More Life.” The group’s singer and guitarist, Naomi Saalfield, known as Nai Palm, appeared on his follow-up album, “Scorpion.” A few months later, she was diagnosed with breast cancer.

  • J Dilla and the Future of Humanity by Kyle Etges the First Time One Listens
    J Dilla and the Future of Humanity By Kyle Etges The first time one listens to the track “Swamp Thing” by Hiatus Kaiyote, your first thought might be “what the fuck am I listening to?” But then a weird thing happens: the groove envelops you, and for reasons you can’t quite articulate, your bobbing your head right along with Perrin Moss. This track, among many others from the last 20 years, is a perfect example of the wobble beat: a beat that feels like it’s constantly teetering on a complete trainwreck, and yet it gives us one of the deepest grooves found in all modern music. How can something so volatile be so much fun to listen to? The “wobble” or “Dilla” beat is not only an obvious indication of progressive neo-soul, but also a sign of a shift in our tastes in music, and our reactions to the progress of humanity itself. The wobble beat itself can be hard to describe, but as we delve further into its inner workings, it will become evident that that’s the whole idea. This drum beat is usually credited to J Dilla (aka James Dewitt Yancey), a hugely influential music producer from Detroit until his untimely death in 2006. During his career, J Dee worked with the likes of Erykah Badu, D’Angelo, The Pharcyde, and many many more, and has had a seminal impact on hip hop and neo-soul music in the 21st century. At the time of this writing, I am not sure of the specific session drummer who first laid down this complicated beat.

    Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres by Vivian Le A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems (Honors Scholar) Presented May 29, 2020 Commencement June 2020 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Vivian Le for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems presented on May 29, 2020. Title: Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Ryann Reynolds-McIlnay The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine whether or not graphic design still plays a role in marketing information about the music, such as its genre, to the consumer. It does so through two studies: 1. A computer visual analysis that measures color dominance of an image, and 2. A mixed-design lab experiment with volunteer participants who attempt to assess the genre of a given album. Findings from the first study show that color scheme models created from album samples cannot be used to predict the genre of an album. Further findings from the second theory show that consumers pay a significant amount of attention to album covers, enough to be able to correctly assess the genre of an album most of the time.

  • 22Nd Istanbul Jazz Festival Programme
    22nd Istanbul Jazz Festival Programme The Festival Hosts Young Jazz Prodigy Tigran Hamasyan in Two Projects Tuesday, 30 June, 21:00, Hagia Eirene Museum Wednesday, 1 July, 19:00, Cemal Reşit Rey Concert Hall Young musical prodigy Tigran Hamasyan, born in Armenia in 1987, will be at the festival with two special concerts. Hamasyan started the piano when he was three and won the piano competitions of both the Montreux Jazz Festival and the Thelonious Monk Institiute when he was 18, the same age when he released his debut album World Passion. Then in 2011, he won the Victoires de la Musique, which is considered to be the French Grammy’s, with his album A Fable. The Guardian describes him as, “a multi-stylistic jazz virtuoso and a groove-powered hitmaker simultaneously.” Herbie Hancock has already told him, “You are my teacher now!” and Hancock is not alone in his admiration of the young musician, but rather joined by others like Brad Mehldau and Chick Corea. On Tuesday, 30 June, Tigran Hamasyan will render traditional Armenian music at the Hagia Eirene Museum, where he will be joined by the Yerevan State Chamber Music Choir, directed by Harutyun Topikyan, for his chamber choir project Luys i Luso. This project will be performed at a hundred different churches around the world and its album will be released under the title of ECM in September. Hamasyan will meet jazz-lovers a second time the next evening and this time it will be for a lilting and melodic concert with his trio at the Cemal Reşit Rey Concert Hall.

  • Nai Palm Long Bio Final
    NAI PALM ARTIST BIO Nai Palm is the type of artist that arrives once in a generation. A two-time Grammy nominated singer, songwriter and musician from Australia, she is a composer, instrumentalist, producer, vocalist and poet who approaches all of these self-taught disciplines with an intuitive, infectious grace which sent her on a journey to sculpt songs that have been received and treasured across the world. It is a world she has travelled many times over with her band Hiatus Kaiyote, who along with Nai Palm, have become household names since they first began playing together in Melbourne in 2011. After the independent release of their debut album Tawk Tomahawk, word of mouth caught on like wildfire and within months they were championed by a host of R&B and hip hop’s most respected tastemakers and icons (Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson, Jazzy Jeff, Erykah Badu, Prince). This eventually led to their signing with Salaam Remi's new imprint Flying Buddha (on Sony Music Masterworks) in 2013, and a Grammy Nomination for Best R&B Performance for their single ‘Nakamarra feat. Q-Tip.’ This Grammy nomination made them the first Australian artist ever to be recognized by the Grammys in an R&B category. Hiatus Kaiyote exceeded expectations with their critically acclaimed sophomore release, the opus Choose Your Weapon, which earned them a second Grammy nomination (“Breathing Underwater” for Best R&B Performance), and cemented their uncompromising artistic vision to transcend genre and the trappings and clichés of the industry. These choices have led to the band’s continual growth in a lane of their own design, garnering deep respect and actively inspiring today’s most celebrated musical icons.
