Hiatus Kaiyote preview forthcoming album with its title track
Hiatus Kaiyote have shared the title track from their forthcoming album, Love Heart Cheat Code.
The band’s bass player Paul Bender shares: “Everybody in the band has an array of toys and sounds and stuff, and I just remember thinking, ‘I wonder how it would sound if I put my little bass pedal on ‘harmonise’ mode?’” Simon on keys then added in chords from an old Roland RS 505 Paraphonic synthesiser that elicited a eureka moment for the band and Nai Palm shaped the jam into what would become the album’s title track.
Nai shares: “‘Love Heart Cheat Code’ doesn’t mean anything and it means everything. On one hand, it’s just cool words together. But also — and I don’t care if I sound corny here, because I’m a romantic — but I really believe if you move through the world with love, it’s the ultimate cheat code to the world.”
Love Heart Cheat Code is set for release on 28 June via Brainfeeder Records/Ninja Tune, and is available to pre-order via hiatuskaiyote.com.
