About
Singer, songwriter, guitarist, and Hiatus Kaiyote bandleader Nai Palm is among Australia’s greatest musical talents. Accompanied only by backing vocals and intricate guitars, her silky voice—rich and full-bodied at times, extraordinarily delicate at others—is gloriously exposed on her solo debut. <i>Needle Paw</i> features originals, covers, and new Hiatus Kaiyote arrangements (including “Atari” and “Molasses,” sampled by Kendrick Lamar and Anderson .Paak, respectively), spectacularly peaking with a dizzying nine-minute medley of David Bowie’s “Blackstar”, Radiohead’s “Pyramid Song” and “Breathing Underwater,” followed by an intimate take on “Borderline with My Atoms.” This album is, simply, flawless.
