Following his return to solo work with last year's triumphantly dynamic 'No Two Blue Ticks' album – Royce Wood Junior now circles back with a new offering from those same album sessions. 

Not only was "Spit Up" originally intended for 'No Two Blue Ticks', but in fact the album title was even pulled from a line in the song's lyrics. Unfortunately, it wasn't finished in time to make the final tracklisting – but, thankfully, now it is. 

Enjoy.

Lyrics:

Oh, darling – what’s up?
You could place a thistle 
on the ground
in the place of me

Oh, darling – what’s up?
You could pour my dust, 
just tip me up
and shake me free

Don’t mists just disappear?
You know all of this just disappears

Ooh, darling – what’s up?
You could wear that 
black rose fascinator 
for a day only

Ohh, darling – don’t you wait for me
Don’t you wait, don't you wait
I’m gone, turn off your phone,
no two blue ticks from me

I’m all lit up
I’m all spit up
I’m all shit out already
I’m all bit up
I’m all chewed up
It’s time for me already

Oh, darling – what’s up?
You just wait for dust 
to not be dust,
if you wait for me

Oh, darling – what’s up?
You should feel a kiss
full up with love,
don’t wait for me

Don’t mists just disappear?
You know all of this’ll just disappear 

I’m all lit up
I’m all spit up
I’m all shit out already
I’m all bit up
I’m all chewed up
It’s time for me already

I’m all lit up
I’m all spit up
I’m all shit out already
I’m all bit up
I’m all chewed up
It’s time for me already

Funksters Prayer

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.
