This band is so unique. Their music is soulful, down-to-earth, yet complex and intelligent. "Molasses" is one of the best songs I have ever heard and probably will ever hear. A timeless masterpiece..
Pause, aside from the time signature changes, the sick ass bass, and the dopest chord progressions on the keys, can we acknowledge those harmonies at 3:55 and on? I can't handle this lol
There actually aren't that many time signature changes in the whole tune - there are maybe five or six. Most of what you're hearing is probably just shifted accents within a 4/4 framework.

THIS SONG IS HITTING HARD AT 3 AM, HOLY COW. THE BASS, THE VOICE PLEASEEE WHAT A BEAUTIFUL VOICE, THE DRUMS. I'm a good mood right now! I'm literally grooving so much now!
I used to listen to Hiatus Kaiyote a lot years ago and then I kinda forgot about them for a while. Until today. UA-cam suggested this out of the blue and I feel reborn. My brain's like "I missed this". Dank music.
One week and 30+ listens to the EP later and wow. I've not listened to 3 tracks on repeat this much ever before honestly. This is my third attempt at writing this comment. The previous two are the words of a (previously well composed) mad man besotted by sound. Love the intricate, dynamic and ridiculously class organ/percussion/guitar/bass throughout. Simply in love with each and every vocal phrase and inflection, well, with Nai I think. Hahaha. Ahem :)
Ditto my friend. I am literally unable to wrap my mind around how much I'm enthralled and in love with this band. I feel like these songs are giving my soul a much needed hug. :)
I don't see how anyone can dislike this lol this is just amazing; their rhythm, their sense of time and the choice of chords?? This is music!! But then again, everyone has their own opinions
Saludos desde mi ciudad Bogotá hasta hoy conocí tu música. Me gusta mucho tu música he escuchado varias canvione ❤🎉❤😮😮y este genial tu Música esta muy bien realizada
Anderson paak sampled this song on one of my favorite songs off his 2016 project Malibu and I had no idea this was hiatus kaiyote until just now. Today is a good day.
the message isn't negative, it's freeing! if it's not gonna get any better there's nothing to work for. what sometimes we forget is that "better" is a mindset, someone could consider where you are at with your life the end of the road for more and thus be free from working towards more. not that now he can't do anything about anything it's just that he is content and at a peaceful relationship with how it is weather it's by cultural standerts "good" or "bad". that is what U.G. krishnamurti pretty much called the "natural rhythm" which is the realisation that there is no way out and nothing more that "needs" to be done. I didn't mean to try and "educate" you or something of that sort, just clearing up what i think the band really meant. PEACE!
I came here on accident and for the past few weeks I have to start my day with this and some days I end with this (; I haven't come across a song by this band that I do not like .
I've had HK on all my music playlists for the past few months, now their hyperdimensional polyrhythmic gangster shit has restored my bruised heart from break ups and fuck ups. Thanks, guys.
Absolutely love it! Don't stop whatever it is you're doing! It's like I've been searching for this sound for years and you guys delivered! Your sound feels great!

I was up at 2 AM listening to the by fire album, my dad walked in on me singing the chorus and I got in trouble but it was totally worth it. I love this band! 💜
OMG I'm playing this song on keys at my school's Black History Month assembly and it is SICK!!! The chords, the rhythm, everything just gorgeous. This is what music is about!
I was blessed enough to see you guys perform in Barcelona this summer on the Fourth of July! This album and Choose Your Weapon were the albums that became my European soundtrack. Thanks for making music that's become so close to my heart. Love you all
Hiatus Kaiyote should do a Tiny Desk session!!!!

It's called jazz. Truly the superior music genre.

You're the one on top
Relic with an armored heart
Color of sulfur
Banished to a single arc
Porcelain smolder
And don't forget you're state of the art
Buried deep in the soil
Selfless or daft
You could be a compass rare and so bountiful
You could be the opposing opinion
You could be the point of attraction bound to all
You could be the point of letting it go
It could be a compass rare and so bountiful
It could be the opposing opinion

It could be the point of letting it go
Running with my eyes closed
Blinding the lens with the focus
Running with my eyes closed
Finding omens in the woodwork
I see cold, cold brail
Mechanical and frail
How do I tessellate
Built to the rage?

this is hypnotizing. i try to do my hw to this, but i'm so distracted by her vocals. she's just amazing.
allthingsjianni You’re hypnotizing as well! A queen for real💯✌🏾
You are not lying.

I recommend jumping around your kitchen to this while you make sandwiches.
I second this
Third, mate
I was doing this just now. lol.
lmfao 😂😂
That sounds like a really good time
This band is the manifestation of the bridge between soul and mind.
that intro man
The drums from 3:15 to 3:35 are probably some of my favorite percussive work of all time, and I WISH THEY LASTED LONGER GUH
+1
As a deep house and future soul fan I support that.
Perrin Moss is a master drummer.
It sent into the sixth dimension ✨
yep my fav part
Anderson .Paak x Rapsody x 9th Wonder brought me here. And yes, this song is so damn dope!
Hugo Arruda dos Santos try Thundercat as well;-)

This band gives me hope that the industry isn't truly dead. True talent can shine thru!
Her voice in the beginning "Might not get get get" makes me lose all reason and just sink deeper
this bass line is everything.

This is my favorite HK song, I'm absolutely in love!
I'm so mad that I only found this band today but what a way to start my 2021!!!!!
I must admit, her voice is astonishingly clear. She follows the bassline and the rythm perfectly, I love it!

Absolutely love it! Don't stop whatever it is you're doing! It's like I've been searching for this sound for years and you guys delivered! Your sound feels great!
