Why not both?

Honestly this is the perfect music to listen to while high

@@danielluevano6040 bogh right now

You win the internet 🎉💜🎉👾

@@SaiyakenPHOENIXcan confirm

9th Wonder

Yoooo I can hear it so clearly, that would go haaaard 🔥🔥

literally the best

i dont think anything will ever beat Choose Your Weapon for me, but this is sounding sweeeet

Agreed, Choose Your Weapon is tough to beat, all of their albums are top notch, this one is already a classic.

So true…I send their music to people and most of the time they don’t get it. 🤦🏾‍♂

lmaoooo i had to play back 💀

It's a Looney Tunes sound effect, to go with the fact that she sang about a roadrunner in that verse. That's hilarious.

@@floridaflamingogirl3119 Can't wait until Warner Brothers claim the song over copyright lmao.

Did not notice it til you pointed it out

@@fernhausluv44 [adjusts glasses] it's actually from a very VERY classic (royalty free) sfx library made by Hanna Barbera - this sound is called "Run, Cartoon - Temple Block Riot". I think it's the short one.

Yes!! Was thinking the same thing.

...in matching triplets, too. On point, as always.

Real. I've lately been obsessed with walking outside in the sunset or dusk and listening to Hiatus

They're already on their way to massive fame, it seems. They've played the Hollywood Bowl and Sydney Opera House, and they've been sampled by famous artists like Kendrick Lamar. I can't wait to see what's in store for them.

I know what you mean 💖

Hi tribe!

That hook is gonna be bouncing around my neurons all week 🕺💃

is the album related to kingdom hearts?

@@albrrrt Probably not. I was just giving a nod at the keyblade-shaped artwork for the single there, also I grew up playing the two games and its in-between sequels during my PS2 days lol. Add: I just realized the first initial of both "Kingdom Hearts" words is an anagram to Hiatus Kaiyote😆 2nd Add: Okay, I just realized the words "poking fun" are supposed to mean in negative connotation after I double checked it in the dictionary🤦😣 All this time, I thought it's supposed to have a neutral connotation and therefore, it can be used both negatively or positively depending on the context. I just didn't know about this before like, I swear I've seen various people on the internet using it both in negative and positive context🤷 Also for the record, English is my second language because I'm not a native English speaker and I just happen to be fluent enough to write down stuff in English just because it's a necessity. All being said, I've fixed it with the more appropriate wording. My big apology for the misunderstanding🙏🙏😔😔

@@GuyWhoLikesTheSnarkies1435 nah man i do think there could be genuine KH inspiration, at least for the cover here. HK has had several video game related references in their music before, for one this being called "cheat code", tracks like Atari, or their By Fire EP having what looks like King from Tekken on the cover.

@@RuthwikRao That's plausible but we'll see when the album's released. I can only find the connection in this track alone, I'm not sure about the rest of the record. Also, this isn't the artwork for the full album cover btw.

@@RuthwikRao I love what a nerd Nai Palm is. Laputa is all about Studio Ghibli, Mobius Streak has an Adventure Time reference ("ancient psychic tandem war elephant"), etc.

Humans need to get on the mothership already because that shit ain't gonna be a real party til our music is there

you said it

Same with Red Room. Nai's delivery is so earnest and strong that it makes the simple lyrics shine. Hiatus is proof you don't always have to use a thesaurus to write a song, if you get my drift.

@@floridaflamingogirl3119 Red Room is such a great track. Honestly when it comes to Hiatus Kaiyote and their musicianship, they are quite simply one of the most impressive bands I've ever gotten into. No matter how they play, they are always 1000% in the pocket. No matter how relatively complex or restrained the music is, they are always first and foremost in service to the groove. And my god is the groove HARD. That said, I think Love Heart Cheat Code the song is insanely catchy. Like, I can't get it out of my head, and I don't want it out. I can't stop singing it out loud, and I want to still be singing it even on the fateful day when this body breathes it's last breath. I want this song to be what my soul is singing as I blast through the pearly gates and on into the 77th dimensional discotheque in the sky.

@@mother_crow_eyesI feel like for this album, they were just thinking, "what are the absolute catchiest soul/pop hooks we could possibly cook up?"

@@mother_crow_eyesand yeah I agree with you about them always being in the pocket. Such a mind blowingly consistent discography where I feel like they're always taking risks and have never phoned in a song.

@@floridaflamingogirl3119 Oh totes! I think it's also their most danceable album to date. You can even see evidence of this with the title track - there's at least one live video of them performing the song that's floating around KZfaq, and for it Nai puts down her guitar and starts boogying around the stage. So yeah I think you're spot on in terms of the kind of album vision they were going for 💜

Same, they've been making my summer!

SAME. I'm infected now, and quite ok with it. My brain and heart are willing hosts to this song.

It's that syncopated shuffle in the groove that really vibes it for me

I had the same feeling when I saw them before Mood Valiant dropped. I remember swaying and moving in rhythm even when I've never heard the new songs before (obviously), and the time signatures were all over the place. One of the greatest experiences of my life. I also met Perrin before the show that day!

Same thing with me. Almost felt like I heard the song before, knowing that I didn’t. Had a dream with a song with a slow groovy jam feel the night before, then this dropped hours later.

Heard this on kcrw

Yes!!! I’m sure you and every other fan can agree we support everything HK does, not once has a song been remotely close to dare I even say “okay”, but this one just didn’t touch my soul like all the other ones! I feel the same way about Lace Skull. The entirety of Choose Your Weapon? Chef’s kiss. T.T.? The only one I wasn’t feeling was Lace Skull. And even the last album got me in each and every emotion. Just something about this title track didn’t quite get me going like all the rest but that’s ok! Music is personal!

The word "handsome" used to be very commonly used to describe women's beauty. You can see it used that way in a lot of vintage novels. I say it's time to bring it back 💙

@@floridaflamingogirl3119 Mmmhmm and beautiful was used to describe a man. I've told some men that they were beautiful... Lol, very mixed reactions. I agree some old timey words should come back in rotation!
