Haiku Salut + Ed Dowie: A Kings Place Podcast

Haiku Salut are an instrumental 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 Benoît Charest, the genre-melting electronica of Ametsub and early Múm, and the impressionistic writing of Haruki Murakami, the band’s debut album Tricolore came out last year, to critical acclaim (★★★★ The Guardian, Uncut, Drowned In Sound, Artrocker, Rock’N’Reel & more). Ed Dowie has composed scores for theatre and short films and has two solo EPs 'Unpacking My Library', released in response to the Paravion Press publication of a Walter Benjamin essay of the same name and 'The Adjustable Arm', released in 2013.
