- The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Music's Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. It's the same spirit - stripped-down sets, an intimate setting - just a different space.
Abby O'Neill | August 4, 2021
Melbourne alt-soul collective Hiatus Kaiyote tricked out its avant-garde recording studio, The Villa, and lathered it with props: a miniature desk, alien costumes, and loads of furry friends. Frontwoman Nai Palm shared with me the impetus behind the design. "I'm a treasure hunter at heart," she said, "and the beautiful thing about dressing a set with sentimental artifacts from my house is that I feel super comfy to perform." Every intricate detail of this Tiny Desk (home) concert evokes feelings of coziness, psychedelia and joyful performance art.
Launching into this brilliant performance with "Sip Into Something Soft," Hiatus takes us on a sweet and sultry journey through a host of selections from their new album, Mood Valiant. On "Rose Water," the tightness of the band (comprised of Paul Bender, Simon Mavin and Perrin Moss, and joined by their longtime backing vocalists) is on full display.
Hiatus Kaiyote came onto the scene with their debut album, Tawk Tomahawk, back in 2012 and created a groundswell of buzz among global music heads. Since then, they've gone on to win varying international awards and were the first Australian group to get nominated in the R&B category at the Grammys for best R&B performance in 2013. This uber-fun and exhilarating set will appease diehards and new fans alike.

I think the entire Tiny Desk community has been waiting for this one for a very long time. Thanks guys, for being some of the most inspirational artists I've ever known.
cant the music be enough? why the visual circus.....
@@RobertSlover, believe it or not, art is a multifaceted endeavour.
@@SeanTheDiscoNinja the music is all that matters.
@Robert Slover, the creatures are from their Get Sun video, shot in their own recording studio. They used the color backgrounds before for a photoshoot. This is their regular space.
@@modifiedcontent the music is all that matters.
so glad Nai was able to beat cancer! so refreshing to hear them back together!
It's amazing to hear that!
i was devastated when i first heard she was diagnosed.. this band is so important to me
woah I didn’t know she had cancer. glad she beat it though :))))
God bless her🙏🏾
Amen !
Nai Palm simply possesses one of the best voices in the world. Absolute chills.
it's also not that easy to sing this well while sitting down. so impressed
Her happiness and positive energy shines through her music. I get a great vibe when I hear her laugh....
aBBasoLyOOtLy 😍🤩😍
I can't describe it any other way than she has brought me to tears by the sheer sonic and harmonic quality of her voice.
I also like how the singer is not visually in the middle. It’s letting the music showcase itself.
after YEARS we’ve finally arrived. s/o to the loyalists who have been here since tawk tomahawk
Yooo!! Since Tawk Tomahawk! Yessir
It's been like an odyssey.... i the penelope them the ulysses it's been so long, finally they are home.
I've been waiting 8 years for this 🤩🤩🤩
Boom
Fame is a heavy price, beware for your soul, sell it away and you'll regret the day, stay true and forever life will thank you
shoutout to the background vocalists, they really compliment Nai’s vocals and add an entirely new layer to the songs! i always love hearing them in live performances as well as on Nai’s Needle Paw album.
I thought Needle Paw was 100% Nai?
Hassan DuRant Nope, she’s got her gang of backing vocalists. They tour with Nai and HK in Australia. You can check the credits to be sure.
True they are good. But it's quite particular from them to have that soft low vocals mixing. Sometime instruments are as powerful and loud than vocals
@@gainsbarfromtokyo Ahhhhh cool, I knew she layered herself for the other albums and assumed she did the same for Needle Paw, but was experimenting with formant-shifting to get the background vocals to sound a bit different. Getting completely separate people to sing would definitely be a lot simpler 😂
Hassan DuRant Yeah that’s simpler, I do like the Porter Robinson voice shifting tricks though aha
that drummer is disgusting. those dynamics are on point. listen to those little hi hat splashes. dirty. take a bath.
Toit loike a toiger
Just filthy..
Check his solo projects too, he goes by “Clever Austin”
thanks @@marcusflippen8296 for sharing
Dude. As a 50yr old drummer I've never heard anything like this- in parts he was slowing down and speeding up within certain measures. And somehow it is in time. I thought it was a mistake at first but he repeated it many times. Boggles my mind.
Nubya Garcia: "I'm going to make the most aesthetic Tiny Desk set ever!"
Hiatus Kaiyote: "hold my kombucha....."
This really tickled me :)
yehhhhhhsssss...!!!!
Everyone takes us somewhere - no competition, just variety of experiences
@@lizricehi5 your absolutely right, loved Nubya Garcia's set just as much as Hiatus kaiyotes, because as U said there so different there incomparable. I was just trying to make a funny.
I chatted to Nubya at the end of a Hiatus gig in London and she told me they were her favourite band.
bass player is an absolute legend
Dude rips.
Absolutely!!
Paul Bender!
Bender!
Paul bender!
BUT THE DRUMMER, EVERYBODY. HE HITS.
drummer is absolutly mind blowing
he is not a drummer, he is a rhythm sorcerer
The drummer is so unbelievably talented
he is not a drummer, he is a rhythm magician
Yeah, I love the way he uses tuplets.
Let me tell you, I literally went through a phase where I only commented for Hiatus Kaiyote to be on here on every Tiny Desk video😂. So to see the day come that they actually are!! I feel like this a dream come true, it doesn’t even feel real. I am so grateful. Thank you NPR❤️🙏🏽
Likewise friend! I want the same with King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, they need to do one at some point
Thank you! Your hard work has rewarded all of our souls
@@maxgill2594 Yooo so true! Maybe NPR assumes they can't do the quiet vibe but I think that'd be majorly underestimating them. Also not even important with the Tiny Desks From Home!
@@Merlincat007 I could for sure see them doing some acoustic microtonal stuff!
Grassroots campaigners like yourself is where the true power lies.
SHOUT OUT to the person who said "Why not try these at home"
Seeing how each artist lay out their vibe is a whole mood
Only God knows how many times i already listened to the new album
oh same
God doesnt because God has been too busy jammin out to the same album
@@tylerbrown9797 word🙏🏿
God only knows how many times I have watched this Tiny Desk...
retweet!!!!
6:48 "it's about moths, and why they like light, and why they like ponies" UUGHHHH THE WAY NAI SAID/SANG THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL
I wish you never showed me that. I rewound it like 200 times....moths....I'm going in again.
@@johncontractors1385 same!
She said “Monks” - the song is about Monks
@@Thigsterthe little dance that the moth “man” did while riding the pony tells me otherwise 😂 6:55
Nai Palm has one of the most recognisable voices of the current generation
I swear to u now, hiatus changed my ears. I don’t listen to music the same. thank u for everything; to make music with such clarity yet such freedom just hits so different.
!!!!
Period!
took the words literally right out of my mouth
SAMEEEEE!
SAME!
nai palm’s voice is one of those things that feel like a new experience each time you encounter it.
the band, the backing vocalists, the stage and their friends made this tiny desk such a pleasure to watch.
thank you .
cant the music be enough? why the visual circus.....
@@RobertSlover dude you are literally commenting the same thing everywhere
@@yilinmao a solid point bears repeating you no content bot. waste of time....
@@RobertSlover but like what's the point it's how they want to present themselves. Let them be them. It's 2021.
@@c3musiq the music is all that matters.....
A very criminally underrated group
They are just perfect. And Nai is genius, wе all so lucky, that she defeated cancer to continue her art.
😭😭😭😭😭 CRYING. this is so magical. literally the coolest band ever.
I too, am crying!
cant the music be enough? why the visual circus.....
I cried too!!! Beautiful!!
IM SAYING
Metoo.every single time.WTHF!
Back in 2015 I stood at the Fillmore in Silver Spring, MD for hours, 7.5 months pregnant, to watch Hiatus Kaiyote + it was worth every cramp 😂 absolute magic ✨
You gave your kid some way cool pre natal memories there DEFINITELY 🤘💜🤘
I was gonna say your kid prolly came out with magical powers of some sort lol
omg I was there! Come on DMV! it was AMAZING ✨
Yessss gal💚💛💚💛
00:00 Sip Into Something Soft
2:14 Rose Water
6:30 And We Go Gentle
10:10 Get Sun
15:15 Blood And Marrow
Thanks mate !
you just gotta love Nai Palm's habit of expressing herself in every possible way, through body language, makeup, decoration of the tiny desk with her bandmates and so on... truly inspiring
The amount going on per musician is bonkers
And yet, none of it is too much. Love this band
They finally got one, today’s a good day people. It’s a great day
indeed my friend
I’m on the verge of tears that it’s finally here. The years of waiting after Choose Your Weapon dropped have been hard.
I love comment 😍
it's a holy dayyyyyyyy !
Anyone else watch this once a week?
Mood Valiant is one of the best albums of the year. So infectiously beautiful.
Too me my list
Yes, from start to finish
Agreed. Stunning.
Concert is an understatement. Feeling more “Soul-healing Acid Trip” vibes I love it
on facts
cant the music be enough? why the visual circus.....
@@RobertSlover why not?
(Also you can try not looking at the screen while listening , I do this a lot . )
@@RatzTeeth irrelevant.
Yesssss omg. I wish they would’ve done “Stone and Lavender” or “Red Room” too but I’m so impressed by the musicianship of the bandmembers and wow the background singers were amazing too.
I recognize those background singers from some really old videos of hiatus on youtube. Its nice that they're still a part of the group
Stone and lavender 😭🤩🤩
Right I was hoping for red room but it was amazing regardless
I wish they had done lace skull😇
Love the sza pfp!
Shout out to an Australian band, paying respects to traditional owners, before showing the world how it’s done
yes land recognitions are so important and educational! its not just a empty gesture
i can always count on H Kaiyote for being about that life.
YES !!
@@emilyinfp704 it is an empty gesture
@@Gofaw so many people don't even think about who's land they are occupying, the least you can do to pay respect is acknowledge the history and privileges you are taking as a colonizers on native land not only for yourself but to makes others aware
The mothership has landed, snatched me up, and taken me to the far away land of jazz funk under water baby… this is magical!!!
So overdue, but absolutely grateful for this
Nothing is overdue, this came just in time
Well she was pretty sick. They can’t do anything about it.
NO WAY. NO WAY.
DIDN'T EVEN WATCH IT YET. WRITING AS I WAIT THE AD TO ROLL OUT.
GOD YES. HIATUS ON TINY DESK.
Perrin Moss is one of the most gifted players to come along in years. So clean
absolutly, upthere next to Chris Dave atleast
I remember seeing them live in Stockholm a few years ago…literally felt like mdma.
Best live performance I’ve ever experienced.
Truly my fav band of all time
Same here - magical to see them live. Would love to see them again ...
I’d wear a crab on my face if it afforded me the opportunity to be a part of that majestic jam session! 🤣 🎶 🦀
I'd wear a crab head anyways
YALL KNOW HOW LONG WE BEEN WAITING ON THIS😭6 YEARS
mood
Yeeeep
@@georgiesweet valiant
@@nahuelucho2661 I wanted someone to reply that so bad, thank u for making my day
@@georgiesweet hahahaha my pleasure
Amazing they were able to perform for us all the way from Tattooine
Someone sign them to the cantina band 😂
The arrangement and musicianship of these backup singers are seriously inspiring.
The mix on this is breath taking, every element is so clear
Mix is good, but musicians' phrasing and timing is exceptional. They mix themselves. I'm a sound engineer.
There's three keyboards in this room, it still sounds so clear
@@arunkarthikma3121 Or like 6! Haha
Thanks Abe!
It’s npr
This was the most satisfying notification I’ve gotten in a long time. We love you, HK!
Yes, we do! 😁
I'm an old gal of 59 and I adore this band. Their music takes me on such fresh musical adventures every single time. Listening to Mood Valient constantly...just can't get enough. Nai Palm is one of a kind...and the rest of the band and backing singers are so on the groove and so tight. LOVE THIS
Perrin is an absolute monster. Doesn't even need a costume
They deserve this, this band is the next big thing, their musicality is out of this world. Merging many genres musical styles
They're everything n im here for it
They're a pretty big band as is. They e been killing it for a hot minute. Just been a little quiet in between albums
@@thesmellycatjazz a LOT quiet between albums 😩
They released Nai Palm and Clever Austin solo projects and will be releasing a lot of new stuff in coming months. also see Swooping and Sweet Enoughs.
@@modifiedcontent the sweet enoughs is one of my most listened to albums... it's bender right?
Killer band. I discovered them 3 years ago, and have been enchanted ever since. Choose Your Weapon is definitely in my favorite albums of all time.
I have a mandrill holding flames tattooed on my leg
Choose your weapon is just something incredible.
Love that both maple glider and hiatus kaiyote recognised the aboriginal land they are on. The native population were treated horrendously.
Nai Palm + Jasmine Sullivan = Me ascending to heaven 😂😂
That would be a melodic ride.
I would die again be born again then die again. I couldn’t take that
the way ''Get Sun'' came in 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥sheeesssshhhh
Yesss that was AMAZING!!
this set reminds me of one of those bands playing at a club in Star Wars or something. Love it, it’s so different & so them ❤️
The first thing I thought of was the cantina band in star wars!
This is the actual vanguard of pop music and r&B. So good to hear experimentations in other compasses , so many nice rythms.Our ears deserve something different than the average 4/4 pop with "LA LA LA"s and "Uh uh uh"s
Nai Palm and Greentea Peng!!! That would be the most surreal psychedelic experience!
I’m ready!!!! My heart stopped for a moment when I saw this pop up on my feed!! Please sing breathing under water!!! Thank you tiny desk for always finding the smaller artist and bigger ones but there is no one better than tiny desk! Please put it on Apple Music!
It's new album time. I would've loved to hear Shaolin Monk Motherfunk, but I'm sure they're kinda over playing songs from that album for the last 6 years
This. I was sad I didn’t see any of the songs I love. Still a dope set though.
@@SuperNompie
All these songs are off their new albums. So many good tracks imo.
(Rose water, Sparkle tape breakup, All the words we don't say)
They deserve to be bigger in the R&B and Indie scenes. Love their music.
i would say they’re more soul than r&b
@@ariisayshii They're indie more than anything. I'd prefer to say "psychedelic" or "indie soul".
@@XxQueenChristinaxX if I remember correctly, they're all classically jazz trained. Part of what makes music nerds love them so much. They'd be considered neosoul more than indie. Prog R&B is just a long way of saying neosoul
@@LiftedGamingLoL I can hear the formal influence in their approaches and styling.
I disagree on Prog R&B just being Neosoul tho. Neosoul is quite specific to a time period - around late 90s to mid 00s, after that it began to decline. Alt R&B, contemporary soul, "trap soul", etc. are what came out of it but it really isn't the same. At this point it's rather underground.
@@LiftedGamingLoL And at the end of the day it's all under the umbrella of "R&B/Soul".
Hiatus Kaiyote is just a breath of fresh hair in a World that forgot musicality and the emotions a voice can make one feel. They're a gift.
“…and it’s about Moths, and why they like ponies!” 🥰 My favorite part!
Shoutout to the dude behind Nai just vibing.
The random costumed creatures are just here to vibe
If there’s one group who Tiny Desk is tailor made for, it’s Hiatus Kaiyote
All of this is amazing, but I'm here for that drum track. Did not disappoint. There are levels to drumming and this creativity is high level ninja live drums.
Perrin Moss is a genius!
@@Merlincat007 totally ninja drums
🤜🏾🤛🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✌🏾
Truly one of the most under appreciated bands of our generation! Musicality is unmatched!
Tell me another band making music like this, or that even could
They are definitely dope! But there are so many fire bands out there, they just haven’t gotten their moment yet 😉 Check out Ramakhandra 💛
Little Dragon
@@Covers-and-Commentary u wot m8
@@moniquebrooksroberts112 🤔 thx for the suggestion! Liking it so far
I would recommend King Gizzard and the Wizard Lizard. They are super complex. Go for a KEXP performance if you decide to check em' out. I also highly recommend the band Vulfpeck. For vocal talent, I would say Kimbra is high on my list (her performance of Plain Gold Ring is insanely gorgeous).
New album and a tiny desk? Feels like I've won the lottery! 😍
The fact that this still does not have over a million views is beyond me! This is elite music.
I’ve been watching the Tiny Desk series for a while… but this band!!!!! How did I not know of them! I cried watching them perform. Pure talent and creativity spilling in every direction. I’m hooked and can’t stop listening to their music now! Nai Palm’s voice is pure healing!
Welcome to the wonderful world of Hiatus Kaiyote
@@OU701 Thank You! And what an amazing world it is!!
I personally like their previous albums even better🥰🤩🤩🤩
Choose Your Weapon is pure bliss. Massage to your eardrums and soul.
Welcome to this side!! You should go and have a listen to their previous album.
So happy to see Nai's back, healthy, and performing again!!!! I love Hiatus!!!!
Finally, Tiny Desk has invited my favorite band! These guys are impressive as heck. Thank you NPR!
Get Sun is funky af
The only thing that makes this better than a regular tiny desk is that Hiatus got to do it on their own terms. Never would have gotten this set design in the regular tiny desk studio, which is basically the corner of the office. This shows so much more of their personality, character, flair and where they are coming from. Proud to call them Australian and they should be declared a national treasure.
And to all those who are wondering about the acknowledgement of traditional owners and finding it weird or otherwise; it is normal here. Nothing unusual about that in Australia. Even happens at sporting events.
I've never prayed for a Tiny Desk harder than this one. My favorite band of all time. 🙌🏻
Meeeeeee tooooooooo❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful. I wish we got "All The Words We Don't Say" though. Would be fire live.
Saw them play it end of 2019 before the lockdowns. It was awesome 👌
Omg yes that’s one of my faves from the album
We are.... SO blessed. To have people with talented souls like this on Earth. This was AMAZING.
why does this not have 57 billion views?
Perrin is killing it on the drums!
I love that they brought people in just to vibe! 🧡 Totally adds to the energy haha
Rose Water!! 🥺
I love how they always add a little extra gravy to their live performances. Absolutely sick guys🔥
And Blood and Marrow - gosh so guuud🤯
I watch this 10x a day for Blood and Marrow. The album version is amazing but THIS. THIS is next level.
Freshest band on the planet! Beyond Dope! Super Queen Nai Palm.....Ultimate Rhythm Masters! True Inspiration!
NPR always understands the assignment. Every single time. Great performance
Love seeing the extended band on this, they haven't done this configuration in a whie. I think it really helps them showcase how good their vocal arrangements are and allows Nai to not have to carry all of it.
C R A Z Y. That's all and now i'm crying why i just discover their music today
That drummer could put on an entire clinic about how slick that hi-hat lead in was at 3:44
Real music. Real Vocals. Real Instruments. Just wow!
It brings a tear to your eye.
Musically is it. If there is anything about this group. It must be called creativity and extreme talent. Music is save in these capable musicians. Salute from South Africa🙏
Hiatus Kaiyote folks been screaming for this show for YEARS. Totally worth the wait. I absolutely love to see how The Funk manifests in different parts of the world. This is amazing, trancendant muslc.
My favorite band of this current era.
One of my dreams came trueeeeeeee!!!! Seeing "Tiny Desk" and 'Hiatus Kaiyote" together... THANKS!!!!!! I love this beautiful band ❤🤘
We can all admit Hiatus Kaiyote is the best band ever to exist, Nai’s vocals are out of this world ! They are so unique & out of this world they deserve more recognition they are so underrated !
I love you Hiatus kaiyote 🖤!
I’m a huge fan x
no content bot.
Yeah, its so rich and goes everywhere well!
Most underated band, right now. Simply genius!
my teacher recommended this to me. i don't regret anything
TRUE ART! The most original band around.
Everyone independently bringing their flavour and it all working in perfect harmony.
Love the new album and love this performance, thank u HK
cant the music be enough? why the visual circus.....
@@RobertSlover I guess why not? Expression can be visual too and it helps set the scene I think for the music. Can understand it might not be to everyone's taste, but you could say that about the music too. arts subjective and all that
@@SimonJefferis the music is all that matters.
@@RobertSlover u must have covid bc one of the symptoms is no taste
@@willows5395 no content bot.
Amazing. Truly amazing! For anyone who complains that there’s no good new music, *gestures grandiosely at this band*
This performance hits so much harder after listening to Mood Valient all week on repeat. I remember when this Tiny Desk first came out & I didn't know the new songs but now that I'm caught up this is so amaaaaazzzinnngggg!!!
There's a clear Mos Eisley Cantina reference to that video. Awesome!
I could actually cry 😩😩 Thank you NPR for FINALLY getting HK on, the fans have waited too long!!!
OK I actually teared up at blood and marrow😢 so beautiful plus knowing it was finishing 😩😩 I wanted more!
I teared
I sobbed
I've been listening to Mood Valiant on repeat for the last week. My god, I love this so much!
Found out my dog was officially blind today. This is helping my tears…. 😩😓❤️💯
What a shame for humanity this video only got half million views in five months
I turned it on the second I saw it and have already played it for times in a row
That's just some distilled pleasure
Thank you gus so much!!!!!!
I've been a huge fan of Hiatus Kaiyote for about 6 years and you never stop amazing me. Thank you for rejoicing my soul with so much art and expression, Nai, HK guys and NPR team! Love from Bogotá, Colombia
Rose Water is my song of 2021. Thank you so much.
That's one of the most skilled and talented drummers I've ever seen
Every Tiny Desk, when they say " thank you " at the end ... I've found myself saying .....☝🏾 " NO, THANK ..... YOUUUU!!! as if they can hear me everytime🤦🏾♀️🤣
