While the band’s central sense of groove is still intact, what Choose Your Weapon offers is a broadening of scope. Choose Your Weapon is not Tawk Tomoahawk, in a multitude of ways.
Listeners with attachment issues should be forewarned that the new LP has a penchant for leaving a groove just as it seems to be settling in and on a number of tracks, especially in its first half, the shifts can become incredibly frustrating. It’s an ever-shifting work, packed with techniques borrowed from a certain progressive rock tradition that includes Yes and Rush as much as The Mars Volta and prog jazz the likes of Weather Report.
After a 3 year wait, fans of Hiatus Kaiyote have finally been rewarded with Choose Your Weapon, the record on which the Australian four-piece opens up their sound into wildly varied new territories.
