Haiku Salut - Tricolore [CD]

Debut album by Derbyshire trio who use accordions, trumpets, glockenspiels, pianos, loopery and laptopery to create gorgeous instrumental music in the vein of mm and Yann Tiersen. Haiku Salut, a trio from the Derbyshire Dales who describe themselves as a "Baroque-Pop-Folktronic-Neo-Classical-Something-Or-Other". Influenced by the evocative film soundtracks of Yann Tiersen and Benot Charest, the genre-melting electronica of Ametsub and early Mm, and the impressionistic writing of Haruki Murakami, "Tricolore" is a startlingly ambitious debut: hypnotic, atmospheric, informed by a love of repetition and a desire to unpick that repetition from the inside. "The most intriguing, unique, remarkable sound I've heard in such a long time" -- Bethan Elfyn.
