Hiatus Kaiyote returned in 2021 with Mood Valiant, their follow-up to 2015’s Choose Your Weapon. The Grammy-nominated quartet blends adventurous grooves with soulful complexity, delivering a sunlit, masterful sound they call “wondercore.” Highlights include the rhythmic jam “Rose Water,” melodic interplay on “All The Words We Don’t Say,” and the quirky pop of “Chivalry Is Not Dead.” The album closes with the delicate, exploratory “Blood and Marrow.” Mood Valiant is a heartfelt expression of love, courage, and sibling bond.
