Amoeba Review
07/29/2013
You’d be forgiven for scratching your head upon first listen of Hiatus Kaiyote’s Tawk Tomahawk. The Australian band doesn’t really sound like anyone else, although there are signposts — the vocal swoops and glitched-out organic sounds of Bjork; the otherworldly soul of Erykah Badu; the atmospherics and layering of Radiohead; and the psychedelic beatwork of J Dilla. Yet Hiatus Kaiyote take what could be a coiled mess of influences and stretch them into something unique and memorable on Tawk Tomahawk. Though things are largely pleasant and ethereal on songs like the stunning “Mobius Streak,” frontwoman Nai Palm gets jazzy and raspy on “The World It Softly Lulls” and goes deep and dark on “Malika,” while the beats get distorted and aggressive on “Ocelot.” Lounges of the future may be spinning this record and calling it a classic of forward-thinking soul.
