It's been a real pleasure to see and hear how Australia's future-soul ambassadors Hiatus Kaiyote have elevated themselves and their sound with each and every note over the past few years. Late last year, we were treated to the dazzling, three-track By Fire EP, which acted as a sort of bridge piece for their forthcoming Choose Your Weapon LP. And now we have our very first taste of that anxiously anticipated follow-up to their stud debut (and Grammy nominated) record Tawk Tomahawk with the arrival of the breakneck and erruptive, Stevie Wonder-channeling cut "Breathing Underwater," which is available for your listening pleasure, along with a lengthy list of tour dates (including our own SXSW showcase) below. Choose Your Weapon is slated to arrive May 5th via Flying Buddha, so check pack for more supporting sounds and sights, as well as the preorder link in the weeks to comes. And if that's not enough to scratch that itch, jump back and peep their superb live cover of Gorillaz's "Dare" from a few weeks ago.
