New album 'Mood Valiant', out 25 June on Brainfeeder: hiatuskaiyote.... Filmed for Wunce Magazine www.wuncemag.com (C) 2013 Pineapple Spaceship PTY LTD
Stevie Wonder is dancing all up & through these chord changes & transitions. Hiatus Kaiyote is no joke. I love it. HK are musician’s musicians... artist’s artists. Not everyone can cover their work, but if you put any track in front of them, they can handle it & put their own spin on it. They’re like a carnival. There’s so many rides to get on. So many games to play & all of them will leave you spinning, but fully satisfied.
I want them to be super successful because they're so good and I want the world to see what real music sounds like but then I also oddly want to selfishly keep them a secret
+nachala waters Well wouldn't you call what they're doing here success? They're already selling out venues and are well within the "limelight". I agree with what you say, I can only hope for bigger and better from them however, you are doing them a dis-service by you not telling your friends about them.
+nerhe07 they are not in the limelight. people know about them but they arent even on tv in america. i think we were just saying that when people get huge commercial success, the quality of the music decreases almost always. we just dont want to see that happen. im sure we all share them with anyone we know that shares a like mind in music. truth is your everyday person wouldnt feel this and thats precisely why they arent mainstream.
Agreed x100. She is wise enough to know that being part of a band is a far better thing than to _just be a singer._ It takes worlds more talent to really be part of a band, no matter what instrument you play, no matter what genre.
Well, it's missing one word which would have made it grammatically more coherent, but it's nonetheless no less a waste than your aimless reply, but then again your surname (intentional or otherwise) is Chode, so I'll set my expectation accordingly.
I discovered them by accident!!! I went to see Erykah Badu, DeAngelo and Busta Rhymes and had the pleasure of catching some weird looking group from Australia. I WAS BLOWN AWAY. By the end of their set, I was BEGGING for more!!!! #RESPECT
Similar story for me. I was watching video of Snarky Puppy playing "Lingus" on RUclips and saw Hiatus Kaiyote offered up. I checked them out and after listening to/watching everything I could find I was hooked. Was lucky enough to see them a couple of months ago in Indianapolis.
She almost actually sounds BETTER here, however in the studio version she holds the "I'm not gunna answer it" in one of the most beautiful ways i've ever heard anything. I specifically noticed it missing in this version because it's like the equivalent of someone flexing really hard. She does flex though in ways in this version that don't exist on the studio version. Anyhow, nai is top 5 vocalist's, ever.
Nah I’ve listened to that on repeat for weeks, it sounds a bit messy here, particularly towards the end. It’s a lot more improvised but some of the ornamentation isn’t as satisfying
this talent is timeless....I'm a huge fan of Stevie Wonder, and I feel his spirit has been shared with Nia Palm.... She is AMAZING!! Thank you funk god, you've answered my prayers.... #KeepRealMusicAlive
Bands I recommend to everyone today that I can never seem to get anyone to listen to - Hiatus Kaiyote Lettuce Anderson Paak Black Pumas The Mainsqueeze (go fucking see this band and Lettuce live ffs) Meg Myers Thundercat
@@AnthonyWilliams-ls4ys Have you ever heard Erykah Badu sing live ? She can't keep a decent tune ! This female keyboard player has got more soul then Erykah and her whole family together
@@ruuisvanbakel2304 I agree that she has talent, but I disagree that she has more soul than Erykah. If you look back at the beginning of Erykah's career, the "can't carry a decent tune live" is something she's always done. She does it purposefully. She experiments with her music even after its been recorded, put for out enjoyment. You can hear it on some her albums as well. She said in an interview that alot of her songs start out playfully.
@@_l_9038 Hi Latoya , I respect you liking her and your personal taste , But I am a musician , and I know that nowadays , and already since many years , you can resolve false notes being sung , with audio engineering , I can even do that with my home studio equipment .So not surprising that she doesn't have that problem on her albums .I can even still appreciate people singing false when there is enough passion given with the singing . It can even be because the sound wasn't good on stage , and that she didn't hear the other musicians well . All possible , but nevertheless I heared two live registrations from her , both singing in my opinion out of tune , and not because she was pushing it . Well ,there are so many singers that are so much better than she is to my opinion . But don't let me stop you enjoying her , enjoy any music that you can ! Fortunately there is still enough Wonderfull music being made . greeting from Ruuis
While watching this video together, I jokingly *cough* told my girlfriend I'm crushing hard on that girl.. She replied "I know.. me too." You can just tell by the way she moves that she's sweet.
You both make me wish I had kids, lols. This is easily one of the best bands I've heard in my life. And I've heard an insane amount of great music in my years. A friend I met playing Vindictus (an mmo action rpg) told me about them.
dude i watch alot of videos, read a lot of comments, the collective in this thread is phenomenal, good energy, funny coloquialisms, just awesome, it lets me know good people still exist... glad to be part of this celebration of dopeness! #power
Isaiah 55:8-9 New International Version (NIV) 8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. 9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.
It's easily one of the best I've ever heard, and I've heard a ton of greats from dozens of different genres. So far this and Stimpy Lockjaw are my favorites of all the new bands I've heard.
Damn.... I had to hit a HARD lean to the right on this. You Kno, that lean that make u make the stank face and say "MM!" Real loud?.... Yeah.... I'm there. 💓
I can't believe I missed this one.......10yrs ago on one of the posts.😮geez. I found this 3weeks ago. I've been playing it since. Blessings to the band!
I've been following them since like 2015, but I always completely melt at 4:40 in the breakdown, and the camera focus onto her smile in the sunlight with just the whole vibe, and it really makes me feel like everything is right in the world for a few seconds.
+Ian White Yep. Completely agree. So many people who haven't heard acid jazz/jazz/ soul/neo soul/funk thinks that it's something completely new..and it is..but it isn't at the same time.
Aniyah Jung Ian White I think you may have misunderstood my comment. I'm not saying "oh, I've never heard anything like this! It must be the future of music". Umm, No. I'm old. I enjoy hearing, and playing jazz, soul, Motown, etc. since the early '70s. I'm saying that I hope more young musicians return to these styles of organic, living and breathing music, and make it their own, just as Hiatus Kaiyote have done.
I come back to this song every time I'm going through something that deeply effects my depression and it's really like a quick fix to my mood for the day. I love Nai, her band is equally as amazing. This band has made some of the best music in 30+ years.
Dr. Jekyll that mister been buggin out my Hyde again If he come in rapping on my door I’m not gonna answer it I’ve been grieving old fashioned at the seed, my seam is fraying I’ve been grieving old fashioned at the seed, my seam is fraying Silk once rushed this thrust has rusted dry Slip your flux right past your fortress We all are born to die We all are born to die Lease this here now sweet piece of mind awake this light Lease this here now sweet peace of mind Always in flight
Oh man, been here once, but the name of the group was so complicated when I was high, ha, couldn't remember how they were called, never found it again. Luckily youtube leads you somehow back to where you have been after a few years. Niiiiiiiiiicee!
Great sound. I've always been attracted to music off the mainstream. This group has soul, funk and so many other elements that's eclectic. This group's sound kind of remind me of Fertile Ground; a group from the 90's from Baltimore, MD.
These guys are so damn good! As an older guy I hear a bit of Weather Report and maybe a touch of Herbie Hancock but it's all served up with a very contemporary funky sound. Great tracks - soulful, inventive and interesting. Great music. The best new stuff I've heard for a long time.
Pretty soulful. I can not wait to catch their set at this year Outside Lands in San Francisco. They should be a lot of fun live in Golden Gate Park. @ColoredSpaces
My absolute favorite song by them! Found this group last August 2016 when they opened for Erykah Badu ( my favorite singer) and I was like WOOOOOOOOW this chick can SANG and the band is awesome. I'm a fan now and want to see them in concert again!
I love how they keep the same backup vocalists. 9 years later and they’re still rocking with each other!!
yeah!! I just saw them in concert and it's the same backup singers!
They are a band after all ❤

Omgggg right I thought about that to
@@Kmoney1960 We’re on the same page!
the chords aren't that complex but the rhythm is very fun
100%
Beautifully put
I want them to be super successful because they're so good and I want the world to see what real music sounds like but then I also oddly want to selfishly keep them a secret
Because you know what the limelight does....trust me youre not alone in your feelings
Jay A Lay that's exactly why
+nachala waters Well wouldn't you call what they're doing here success? They're already selling out venues and are well within the "limelight".

+nachala waters they are already successful!
She's always sounds in tune with the music. She uses her voice as a instrument. She doesn't just sound like someone singing over instrumentation
She pretty sounds like a jazz singer.
you nailed it
Agreed x100. She is wise enough to know that being part of a band is a far better thing than to _just be a singer._ It takes worlds more talent to really be part of a band, no matter what instrument you play, no matter what genre.
@@zeruchofficial wow what a waste of to comment
Well, it's missing one word which would have made it grammatically more coherent, but it's nonetheless no less a waste than your aimless reply, but then again your surname (intentional or otherwise) is Chode, so I'll set my expectation accordingly.
Got me listening to this with the stank face
Whowould'vethought you know it's real when she playing with the stank face
It's 11:34pm and I have the dirtiest stank face right now
repulsively good!!!
Right!😜
RIGHT!!

Goodness, this is filthy.
*snaps fingers furiously*
***** pouting the lips as well
Slay
Exactly this
The bass player is incredible.
The way they change time signatures and tempo is so seamless. Absolutely stunning. By fire sounds brilliant too!
I honestly can't even
Complex music without being pretentious
CHECK CHRIS DAVE but it's what's up
i wanna but.....🤯
My brain struggles to comprehend the awesomeness of this band
Yes! Thanks for sharing!
Mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn ... Quite possibly the best band on the planet right now from a musicianship standpoint.
lulls!
***** Thanks
bro they are perfect
She sounds just like she does on record. That's a great vocalist for you.
Jamma* Wun looks
She almost actually sounds BETTER here, however in the studio version she holds the "I'm not gunna answer it" in one of the most beautiful ways i've ever heard anything. I specifically noticed it missing in this version because it's like the equivalent of someone flexing really hard.
She does flex though in ways in this version that don't exist on the studio version.
Anyhow, nai is top 5 vocalist's, ever.
Her voice is amazing, only a little breathy
Nah I’ve listened to that on repeat for weeks, it sounds a bit messy here, particularly towards the end. It’s a lot more improvised but some of the ornamentation isn’t as satisfying
I'm here for the background singers. They put their everything in this.
Indeed…
Keep finding myself coming back to this track, unreal song
Liam Waghorn 4 years later still rings true
2:21 each of the backing vocalists is head-banging at a different time signature
You don't have to be on time with the funk
They're just syncopating with the headbanging haha.
the groove at 4:40 is fucking unbelievable
My favorite part too. ^-^
Amazing!
Thank you Hiatus Kaiyote for saving my life in these times of crisis.
This music speaks to my soul. Don't know how else to describe it.... My soul is dancing :)
Me to it just like you in sync with ever thing and for my I feel like I can do any thing
Yes😍
that's why this kind of music is called neo-soul :-p
I'm pretty sure this band is actually God.
I tried to look for similar music but I could not find jack shit so I completely agree
Aye Lame-O ever heard of jamiroquai
Haikal Fauzi haha ofcourse, Dynamite is my favorite album
Haikal Fauzi love jamiroquai but he ain't got shit on Nai Palm and Haitus
Aye Lame-O check 30/70 Collective they're also from Australia.
I love their sound as well!
wow.... she plays the piano too!? i never knew.. this whole time ive been watching her slapping dat guitar like a queen
I don't think she plays bass.. If she does I want the link of the video. I've only seen her playing guitar, singing, and playing piano.
I don't think they meant _slapping,_ as in the bass technique. :)
Prolly more like bitch slapping some 11 chords, lols.
Playing this... over, and over, and over...
That keyboardist solo was killer!🙌🏾 🙌🏾
this talent is timeless....I'm a huge fan of Stevie Wonder, and I feel his spirit has been shared with Nia Palm.... She is AMAZING!! Thank you funk god, you've answered my prayers.... #KeepRealMusicAlive
Can you guys imagine how fucking dirty a big band version of this would be?

Lettuce
Anderson Paak
Black Pumas
The Mainsqueeze (go fucking see this band and Lettuce live ffs)
Meg Myers
Thundercat
Sounds like Erykah Badu backed by a bad-ass 70s funk-fusion band. Great chops, interesting changes, excellent jam.

does anyone know her name?
oohh wait, she is Laura Christoforidis
holy... what a performance, i would pay 100 just to listen to them perform 5 songs in this settings. the backup team is the best ive ever seen.
Still vibin' since Mood Valient came out :))
Great music. My daughter introduced me to them. Thank you.
Victor Anonsen my son introduced them to me. Our kids have great taste in music
You both make me wish I had kids, lols.
This is easily one of the best bands I've heard in my life. And I've heard an insane amount of great music in my years. A friend I met playing Vindictus (an mmo action rpg) told me about them.
There are no words in existence, no human vocabulary capable of describing this extra terrestial, out of mind and body experience. NONE!
💯
Why can’t this be mainstream music ☹️
Is there any end to their musical genius? I keep finding new songs I like more and more.
dude i watch alot of videos, read a lot of comments, the collective in this thread is phenomenal, good energy, funny coloquialisms, just awesome, it lets me know good people still exist... glad to be part of this celebration of dopeness! #power

I find I enjoy thier live takes waaaaaaaaaaaay more than the album.. I'd love to make a compilation album

A small and heartbreaking glimpse into the mind of God.

@@davidhmmm4234 Just checking in four years later to announce that I, too, cried like a bitch at this totally abrupt yet utterly amazing transition.

i think this is probably my 100th time watching this in over a year lol
I could listen to this 10x a day!
I think it was close to that the first time I found it too, lols.
my kids will have no choice but to love them
This band is the epitome of true art in its purest form 🙌🏽
I can't believe I missed this one.......10yrs ago on one of the posts.😮geez. I found this 3weeks ago. I've been playing it since. Blessings to the band!
Talked to J Cole that Mr. Bean bugging out my height again
that piano player..... Eargasmic
Just...Damn that was awesome!
I have to see these guys live!
Great song throughout, but the last part is just brilliant
Gotta come back to this live performance every once in awhile it’s just that fucjing good
this gave me goosebumps..
Damn!!! This track should have been on the album!!!!!
sweet peas of mine, I just had peasoup and this is a great song!
from 04:40 on this hit some other dimenson of music and sound, some kind of holy shit
who in the entire fuck disliked !
plebes
Absolutely gorgeous. Extremely reminiscent of Fela kuti at times
💯
I've been following them since like 2015, but I always completely melt at 4:40 in the breakdown, and the camera focus onto her smile in the sunlight with just the whole vibe, and it really makes me feel like everything is right in the world for a few seconds.
They bring us home everytime.
Reminds me of the rainy days in Chicago listing to Erkyah Badu. Love her voice.
This version is so much better than the original which is also awesome.
I know right!
i've been listening the album up and down.. it's really the best you can habe while driving
The Breakdown at the 4:43 mark......Makes my soul smile!!
Lease this here now sweet piece of mind awake this light, always in flight
The vibe was unreal for everybody here
The future of music? One can only hope...
This more relates to music if the past, using elements of jazz and funk you would've heard long ago

This song brings tears to my eyes each time I listen to it cause it makes my soul that happy 🙏🏽
incredible..........why am i just hearing about this band.... bravo....bravo.
Why did they shorten it on the album?! :( love this version so much. That keyboard solo yummmmm
It’s sooo good 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The number of time changes in this song is too damn high! =P awesome stuff guys!
I am SO JEALOUS of you going to see all of these artists!!! Bloody hell! Please tell them all to come to New Zealand if you bump into any of them :-P
almost 10 years later and this banger still slaps harder than my momma when I talk back
Real next level shit.
Almost threw my phone at 4:40!!! That switch up spoke to mah sooouuul!!! *Vibes*

Luckily youtube leads you somehow back to where you have been after a few years.
Niiiiiiiiiicee!
They're coming to Ireland and playing at Sugar Club on July 10th if you are interested. The link to tkts are on their facebook page. :)
Is it bad that I like this version better than the one on their CD?
+Ans_leigh Totally agree.
+Ans_leigh Nope not at all because I feel the same exact way. It's so beautiful.
+Ans_leigh no because its more personal. Insight into magic :)
+Ans_leigh nope because that's exactly how I feel
This version is worlds better, so no.
Great sound. I've always been attracted to music off the mainstream. This group has soul, funk and so many other elements that's eclectic. This group's sound kind of remind me of Fertile Ground; a group from the 90's from Baltimore, MD.
Clear sound, fresh arrangements, unusual harmonies, changes in rhythm dynamics. What a great band.
Make me cry every time I listet it. That deep goes...
I'm convinced Nai can do anything with her voice. HK is just absolutely brilliant. 👏🏽
Beautiful soul music, thank Goodness
God! So much fucking soul!!! You have restored my faith in music.
Her voice is so much better when it isn't being drowned out by off key competing singing!
I want a never ending version of this song, please.
When that beat DROPs! I surrendered this wig
It's almost not even fair how good this is. I've been completely blown away by this band.
These guys are so damn good! As an older guy I hear a bit of Weather Report and maybe a touch of Herbie Hancock but it's all served up with a very contemporary funky sound. Great tracks - soulful, inventive and interesting. Great music. The best new stuff I've heard for a long time.
Huh, strange. A lot of people accidentally hit that thumbs down button.
masterful performance. masterful recording.
Pretty soulful. I can not wait to catch their set at this year Outside Lands in San Francisco. They should be a lot of fun live in Golden Gate Park.
@ColoredSpaces
hiatus kaiyote,kali uchis and the internet need to do a show together please! 😭❤
My absolute favorite song by them! Found this group last August 2016 when they opened for Erykah Badu ( my favorite singer) and I was like WOOOOOOOOW this chick can SANG and the band is awesome. I'm a fan now and want to see them in concert again!
Nai Palm (the Lead Singer) has actually been mentored quite a bit from Erykah
I saw them live back in March. best show ever. Ever.
