Finding a home on celebrated indie-pop Club night and record label How Does it Feel to be Loved, Derbyshire trio Haiku Salut have made first single ‘Los Elefantes’ available for free download on their soundcloud page
With Melodicas, accordions and piano curling around looped drums and synths its easy to see why the band have been tarred with the ‘Folktronica’ brush but for fans of Yann Tiersen and The Album Leaf, forthcoming album ‘Tricolore’ (out March 25th) will be an essential listen.

March 2 – La Taverne des Gaulois, Saint Laurent Blangy, France
March 3 – Le Couleur Café, Arras, France
March 4 – Chaff , Brussells, Belgium
March 5 – Le Stakhanov, Nantes, France
March 7 – Le Comedia, Lille, France
