Equally remarkable is that none of it seems devised. 'It discusses the creative and destructive forces of fire and uses this element as a reference point to express about my father passing away in a house. 'By Fire is a burial song,' Nai Palm says. 2014s By Fire EP gave fans a taste of three of the 18 tracks from Choose Your Weapon.
Within the context of a playlist, any one of a dozen songs here could bridge '50s bop to '60s MPB, or '70s art rock to '80s boogie, or '90s neo-soul to 2000s dubstep. Hiatus Kaiyote released their debut album Tawk Tomahawk in 2013. Progressive-eclectic DJs like Gilles Peterson, Garth Trinidad, and Carlos Niño could not have dreamt them up. As out-there as the material gets, rich highlights such as "Laputa," "Borderline with My Atoms," and "Breathing Underwater" are thoroughly winsome, cast in warm light.

Wrapped in soul, blending poetry and polyrhythms, the music of Hiatus Kaiyote is in a lane all by itself. From track to track, one ingenious idea trails another. The band refines and broadens its attack. Seventy minutes in length, it can be split in half and taken as two volumes that surpass what preceded it. The phrase 'eagerly awaited' might get overused, but anticipation could hardly be greater for By Fire, the new EP by Melbourne’s future soul. In some ways - literally, for example - Choose Your Weapon is twice the album. Rising Australian stars Hiatus Kaiyote play live. Tawk Tomahawk provided a lot to absorb in its 35 minutes.
