Song of the Day: Hiatus Kaiyote “Shaolin Monk Motherfunk”

Hiatus Kaiyote, a future soul (self-termed)/neo-soul quartet from Melbourne, Australia just came out with a new album this month called Choose Your Weapon.

DJ Stylus wrote about them on our blog a while back:

Hiatus Kaiyote is a lightning strike at the intersection of a jumble of influences: jazz fusion, art pop, nu soul and left field hip-hop beatcraft. Only together as a band since 2011, they’re making the world take notice of what’s going on in their homebase of Melbourne, Australia. Their work is exciting, challenging, warm and sophisticated.

I found a live version of “Shaolin Monk Motherfunk” online a few years ago, and they played it during soundcheck at one of their gigs. It’s now officially released and is the second song on Choose Your Weapon.

Here’s the live version:
