As Saalfield told Pitchfork earlier this year, “after I decided that I needed to prove to life that the offering I have is genuine. “Mood Valiant” shines with irrepressible unity and a palpable cheer which feels all the more acute after the turmoil to even get to this point. Put that side-by-side with her recording Curtis Mayfield covers from a hospital bed, and it’s not hard to see where the joy stems from. The song’s immediacy, courtesy of a knotty bassline and nonlinear beats, mark this as an outlier, but it explodes forth with Nai Palm singing-scatting about tilling the land and being absorbed by someone else’s eyes. This comes to pass: “Mood Valiant” pootles along with urbane fluidity until we get to the mid-album showstopper, ‘All The Words We Don’t Say’. For most of the dozen songs here, Hiatus Kaiyote paints in brushstrokes of Rhodes piano, warm instrumentation, and steady percussion which has the capacity to explode at a moment’s notice.

Hopes for a restful start to the 2020s were dashed as Australia lost its early handle on pandemic management, and went into a series of convulsing lockdowns it has not yet fully come out of. She went into remission the next year, but not before her pet and Hiatus Kaiyote’s unofficial touring fifth member, a parrot named after 20th century jazz great Charlie Parker, died. Saalfield, who lost her mother to breast cancer as a child, was diagnosed with the same condition. Given the Melbourne-born four piece’s predilection for spinning sultry golden-hour moods out of soul, R&B, jazz-funk and beatwise noodling, it wouldn’t have been a surprise if “Mood Valiant” never got made at all.Ģ018 saw the band reach a new level of cultural cachet, as unmistakable lead singer Nai Palm (Naomi Saalfield) released a solo LP and featured as a guest vocalist on Drake’s globe-dominating “Scorpion”.
