Nai and Simon tracked an epic ballad, “Stone Or Lavender,” while Bender and Perrin banged out a bass and drum groove that that band then turned into the song “Red Room” in an act of spontaneous composition. “The engineer never stopped smiling, the set-up was beautiful, so after Arthur finished, we asked if we could use the studio for the rest of the evening.” The all-night session brought two new songs onto the album. “Verocai is such a lovely man,” Perrin says. “Tears were running down my face,” Bender recalls. “We had no idea what he had written for it.” When Verocai fired up his horn and string sections, it was a release for everyone. “We had recorded the song ‘Get Sun,’ and it already sounded good,” says Bender. Then, a trip to Rio de Janeiro in late-2019 to work with legendary Brazilian artist/arranger Arthur Verocai shifted the vibe of the entire album. My only wish is to live and offer my experience of time and beauty.” “I guess after the breast cancer scare I decided that I needed to prove to life that the offering I have is genuine. “When you think your life is going to be taken away from you, it makes you think about who you are,” Nai says. Her lyrics, even those written before her illness, took on a prescient quality. As she 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, The 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 added new material to their sets in support of Choose Your Weapon. The new project comes after being sampled on songs by The Carters (Beyonce & Jay-Z), Kendrick Lamar, Anderson.Paak, Chance The Rapper, and Drake-with whom Nai Palm collaborated on his Scorpion album. The twice-Grammy-nominated band is comprised of Naomi “Nai Palm” Saalfield (guitar, vocals), Paul Bender (bass), Simon Mavin (keys), and Perrin Moss (drums) and the new album is the follow up to their 2015 album Choose Your Weapon, which Rolling Stone described as "a stunning step up" and took them from Glastonbury to Fuji Rock, from rocking the Roots Picnic to selling out the Sydney Opera House. Hiatus Kaiyote return in 2021 with their new album Mood Valiant, on Brainfeeder Records/Ninja Tune.
