"Mood Valiant" came together over the course of six years during which the band spent time touring, writing and recording, culminating in a 2019 trip to Rio de Janeiro that led them to work with legendary Brazilian arranger Arthur Verocai. Today’s announcement follows the band’s recently released album, "Mood Valiant" which received praise from Pitchfork, Dazed, Guardian, Rolling Stone, The New York Times, and NPR, and placements in Albums Of The Year so far lists at Rough Trade and Mixmag. Hiatus Kaiyote is Naomi “Nai Palm” Saalfield (guitar, vocals), Paul Bender (bass), Simon Mavin (keys), and Perrin Moss (drums).

"Canopic Jar" is a haunting, cyclical track exploring the descent into the darker corners of the mind. “Hiatus Kaiyote’s music stretches and bends every parameter.” - Jon Pareles / The New York Times Hiatus Kaiyote - Get Sun (feat.The twice Grammy-nominated band share a new single "Canopic Jar" including a hypnotizing 32 second introduction titled "Journey To The Crystal Tomb".

“Hiatus Kaiyote’s music stretches and bends every parameter.” - Jon Pareles / The New York Times The album was a six year journey, but is more of a hustle than a hiatus - it is an act of love, of courage, of brother-and-sisterhood, of altered perspective.
