Tawk Tomahawk is out now on Flying Buddha, including the new version of Nakamarra with Q-Tip. Buy it from <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/tawk-tomahawk/id668775119/" target="_blank">iTunes</a> now.

Nai Palm (Hiatus Kaiyote) - Breathing Underwater (Acoustic)

Buy 7" and download "In The Dirt" free from: hopestreetrecordings.com/spanishharlem 

Stop what you’re doing. Lovers of soul, funk, and all the other good grease need to get on this 45 real quick. HopeStreet Recordings brings you a collaboration between Australia’s hottest soul voice, Nai Palm, and Australia’s heaviest rhythm section, The PutBacks, on that classic, classic joint Spanish Harlem. The Worm, a typically heavy PutBacks instrumental on the flip rounds out two smokin’ sides of Burn City soul.  

Jerry Leiber and Phil Spector wrote Spanish Harlem for Ben E King in 1960, but it was Aretha Franklin took it to number one in 1970. In 2013, The PutBacks and Nai put it down one more time on 8 tracks of tape with the production team at HopeStreet Recordings and you sure can take that sucker home on wax, but you’d better be quick. After all – this release has been 50 years in the making. 

The B side on this record is for the B boys. The Worm baby. Lots of songs fade out, but how many fade in? Yeah. That’s real. This kind of lowdown funky break is what the PutBacks really love to put the back in. Ouch. Will someone sample this already so it can go for longer than three and a half minutes?

This record is raucous and rich in the rawness. The drums, bass, and percussion gallop through Spanish Harlem and swagger through The Worm. The guitar and organ howl and huff. Simple production lets the musicians do the talking, and boy, Nai Palm can shout. Sweet layered harmonies over a dirty minimal rhythm track. It’s a new thing, it’s an old thing, it’s a limited pressing and it’s yours at www.hopestreetrecordings.com. 

Also, we do know what year it is so yes, the vinyl does come with a download code for both sides plus a digital version of another PutBacks instrumental – In The Dirt. Value added. Special funky bonus. Get yours.

The PutBacks feat. Nai Palm - Spanish Harlem

Shouts to Andreya and FlyLo for the stellar original version of this tune.

I've been sitting on this acapella for years, in fact at the time when FlyLo threw it online I was playing guitar for Andreya in London (After meeting her at RBMA's "A Class Of Its Own" sessions in Cologne in 2007)... so FlyLo threw it up online, I grabbed it, Andreya came around to mine for rehearsals and I told her about it... turns out she didn't know it was out in the wild. Not long after FlyLo took it down...

We used to do a pretty shoegazey version of Tea Leaf Dancers live, me on the acoustic guitar creating loops and singing bv's and Andreya doing what she does best over the top. A great tune that was a breakthrough tune for her and FlyLo I reckon. 

Respect to the architects as usual but I had to put my spin on this one...

Go and buy Andreya's music if you haven't already!

Nubya Garcia & Maxwell Owin - June 2017

Zhane - Hey Mr. DJ

Wax Poetics Presents "Tawk Takeout: Tawk Tomahawk Remixed" by Melbourne, Australia soul group Hiatus Kaiyote.


When Queen of Just About Everything, Ms. Erykah Badu, delivers knowledge, you open yourself to receive. Which is why when she devoted 140 characters or less to Australian band Hiatus Kaiyote—her exact words were "Okay. I'm done. In love,"—it confirmed our strong sense that these guys were exceptionally special.

In a country where balls-to-the-floor AC/DC rock boasts a much fuller history than soulfully futuristic stylings, this seven-piece from the east coast city of Melbourne is an anomaly. Hiatus Kaiyote’s uniqueness comes not only from their surroundings, but also their capacity for a sound rich in its understanding of soul, R&amp;B, and jazz.

Lead singer/songwriter Nai Palm was raised on the sincerity of artists like Wonder and Franklin, which she funnels into one of the most naturally arresting voices we’ve heard (check this <a href="http://youtu.be/FwLU_PXheuo" target="_blank">cover of "My Cherie Amor"</a> from her NYC debut over the weekend). Her current U.S. trip as ambassador for the band has gained Hiatus Kaiyote a luminary list of new fans and friends including the Roots, Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, Jean Grae, Pharoahe Monch, the Brainfeeder crew, and more.

Word of Hiatus Kaiyote has found its way to the U.K. as well. Right now the band is enjoying the attention of Gilles Peterson, who selected their self-released EP Tawk Tomahawk as his Album of the Week. The timing has worked well for us too, as Wax Poetics cordially presents the accompanying remix album, Tawk Takeout.

Twelve producers tackle Hiatus Kaiyote originals, grappling with the stems and unfolding them into various forms. Mark de Clive-Lowe contributes a wonderfully spirited version of "Malika," which sits beside interpretations by Shafiq Husayn, KCRW’s Anthony Valadez, and more.

Listen to the album in full below, and <a href="http://hiatuskaiyote.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">download it for free</a> via Hiatus Kaiyote’s Bandcamp  page.
