Critical reception Professional ratings Aggregate scores The title of the album was inspired by Nai Palm's mother, who owned two Valiant Safari station wagons, one white and one black, and would drive whichever would suit her mood for the day. She composed many of the songs that would later appear on Mood Valiant during the period of her treatment and noted how her diagnoses changed her perspective on life, a theme explored on the album. Singer/guitarist Nai Palm revealed on 18 October 2018 that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer.
