Praise
for Haiku Salut's debut album, "Tricolore":
"Haiku
Salut employ a miniature orchestra of loops, bloops, flutters,
and buzzes to create one of the dreamiest records of the year.”
- Skatterbrain
"A strong sense of nuance and sensibility
of composition is very much alive in this trio, and this record
captures a truly creative—and still young—group
that’s bound to go places from here. The world of Tricolore
is a delightful one, and like any good album of its kind, it
captures a diverse, multi-colored musical journey."
- Popmatters
"Melodicas
and cheap electronics nestle alongside acoustic guitars and
horns, odd pairings of style abound but they work, creating
a fresh, summery whole" - The Guardian
"Spellbinding folktronica from the edge of the Peak District.
If Sigur Ros shared a cottage in Dovedale, they might just sound
as magical as this." - Uncut
