Our Take

Haiku Salut's latest offering, "The Hill. The Light. The Ghost." is a whimsical journey through an ethereal landscape of sound. This trio from Derbyshire have crafted an album that is as captivating as it is quirky, drawing listeners in with its playful melodies and intricate layers of instrumentation.

From the opening track, "Cold to Crack the Stones," Haiku Salut set the tone for a cinematic experience that is both haunting and enchanting. The atmospheric soundscapes are punctuated by moments of whimsy, such as the accordion-driven "In the Shadow of the Hill," which brings to mind a whimsical village fête in the English countryside.

The album seamlessly blends elements of folk, electronica, and post-rock, creating a sonic tapestry that is as experimental as it is accessible. Tracks like "We Are All Matter" showcase the trio's ability to build tension and release it in a cathartic crescendo of sound.

Haiku Salut have a knack for creating music that is both introspective and uplifting, with each track on "The Hill. The Light. The Ghost." offering a unique journey for the listener. This album is a testament to the band's skill and creativity, solidifying their place as one of the most exciting acts in the UK music scene. So grab your headphones, sit back, and let Haiku Salut take you on a magical musical adventure.
