Description
The new project comes after being sampled on songs by The Carters (Beyonce and Jay-Z), Kendrick Lamar, Anderson .Paak, Chance The Rapper, and Drake – with whom Nai Palm collaborated on his Scorpion album.
The result is an album, bookended by Verocai_s strings, that relaxes into a groove: sunlit, sublime, masterful. Behind everything is Hiatus_ familiar sense of musical adventure, their knack for making the complex sound simple, or in their own words _wondercore_. Simon_s experiment with an odd rhythm in groups of 5 becomes a cascading jam called _Rose Water._ Bender and Simon_s trading of single notes, back and forth, to make a melody becomes _All The Words We Don_t Say._ Nai_s cheeky take on sex-obsessed, three-minute pop hits becomes _Chivalry Is Not Dead,_ a song about the bizarre mating rituals of leopard slugs (they turn fluorescent) and seahorses (they lock tails and dance). The album ends with the delicate _Blood and Marrow,_ a Bender bassline to which Nai and Perrin improvised, that Simon pegs as his favourite: _It_s a classic Hiatus studio song that_s got beautiful exploration and mystery._
