    An album-long search for new ways to express old thoughts, and far from any prescribed formula of tempos and buggery that would entail techno or drum n’ bass or other electronic information media.

    Ultimately though, it is about mixing disparate influences and seeing how they blend together. Happily for all of us, this approach works brilliantly.

    The Derbyshire trio bring a pleasing experimentalism to their second LP. [Aug 2015, p.75]

    This is an album that seduces as readily as it challenges. [Sep 2015, p.88]

    This is an insinuating record, a sunshine-and-haywains counterpart to the sinister English ruralism of the likes of Hacker Farm, but one that nags at you once its charms are clear.

    Where once the band may have occasionally caught your ear, these songs command attention throughout.

    If this all sounds a bit linear, as though Etch and Etch Deep moves like a standard plot, well, that’s because it does. There’s no film to accompany it, but that doesn’t mean Haiku Salut’s second album doesn’t make for a fantastic score, providing a subtle emotional guide as it moves from point A to point B and each stop along the way.
