Gig Of The Week
Haiku Salut follow up their brilliant debut, Tricolore, with the equally fascinating Etch And Etch Deep. A weird and wonderful blend of electronic baroque pop, it’s an explosion of sounds that, while comfortabley at home with the likes of mum, Sigur Rós and Beirut, stands out on its own.
Their live shows are something to behold too; whether its the spectacle of their lamp shows, which sees an arrray of vintage lamps flashing in time, or the sheer engrossment of watching the incredible number of instruments at their disposal – Sunday’s show at the Lexington is bound to be special.
