About this item

Hiatus Kaiyote follow up their huge LP, "Mood Valiant" with a Halloween inspired single, "Canopic Jar". Expanding on the band's already maverick ethos, "Journey To The Crystal Tomb" and "Canopic Jar" both take huge risks with arrangement, dynamics and timbre. Constructing a wild palette of instrumentation on which to inflict their hard funk slog, both tracks bang hard and twist melons with inventive, out-there sonics.

The 12" comes with instrumental and acapella versions which should keep their ever-growing army of hip-hop leaning fans happy. A band with maximum crossover appeal, their extensive touring alone has also earned them a die-hard, cult following and numerous VIP collaborations.

The band is comprised of Naomi 'Nai Palm' Saalfield (guitar, vocals), Paul Bender (bass), Simon Mavin (keys), and Perrin Moss (drums).

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Modern and experimental funk-soul troupe that's rightfully garnering adoration across the LA beat scene. Their hefty beats and nonconformist hooks instantly turn heads while their fuzz heavy, raw production bites at even the most ardent of funk fans.
