Haiku Salut is a Derbyshire-based instrumental trio known for their enchanting blend of post-rock, electronica, and neoclassical sounds. Formed in the early 2010s by multi-instrumentalists Gemma Barkerwood, Sophie Barkerwood, and Louise Croft, the group creates cinematic soundscapes using accordion, glockenspiel, synth textures, and intricate loop pedals. Their music often feels like a whimsical conversation between acoustic warmth and digital precision, with releases like *The Hill, The Light, The Ghost* (2021) showcasing their knack for evocative, narrative-driven compositions.
Renowned for their immersive live shows featuring synchronized lights and projections, Haiku Salut has built a cult following for their genre-defying work. Recent tracks like *Carousel* and *We Need These Beams* continue their tradition of crafting delicate, emotionally layered instrumentals, while remixes like *Meer* highlight their collaborative spirit. They’ve quietly become one of the UK’s most intriguing underground acts, pairing pastoral charm with glitchy experimentation.
