Since then, the band have released another, similarly acclaimed studio album entitled “Choose Your Weapon”, and continued to be one of the most exciting and esoteric groups of their generation. This re-released version of the album included a collaboration with A Tribe Called Quest legend Q-Tip, who's just one of the many musical icons who've given the band their seal of approval.
The year after they formed, the band self-released their debut album “Tawk Tomahawk”, an album that was so acclaimed that it netted them a deal with the Sony Masterworks imprint label Flying Buddha, who re-released the album in 2013. She has been the driving force of the band since the very beginning, at first performing solo concerts before drafting in bassist Paul Bender, keyboardist Simon Mavin and multi-instrumentalist Perrin Moss to form a proper band around her songs. It would take a very special band to live up to that, but fortunately, in the capable hands of lead singer and songwriter Nai Palm, Hiatus Kaiyote live up to that promise and more besides. In an age where a lot of artists go to extreme, and some might say ill-advised, lengths to stay ahead of the curve and out of the crowd, Hiatus Kaiyote go further than most by describing their sound as “Multi-Dimensional, Polyrhythmic Gangster Sh*t”.
