Melbourne-based soul quartet Hiatus Kaiyote is releasing their next album, Choose Your Weapon on May 4. For those who are unfamiliar, Hiatus Kaiyote was signed by Salaam Remi to his label Flying Buddha and released their debut album Tawk Tomahawk in 2013. “Breathing Underwater,” the first single from the album, dropped last month and today, they've unleashed "Shaolin Monk Motherfunk." The track starts off soft but it's not longer before the passionate vocals from Nai Palm​ make the track overwhelmingly lush. Stream it below and keep an eye out for Choose Your Weapon next month.
