We were so happy when we heard that our favourites, Haiku Salut (UK), are releasing a new album. And even more so when we heard it was inspired by their visit to Bjørke last year. In fact we were very moved. We would never have imagined that one day one of our favourite bands would make an album about the village close to our heart.
Here is what Sophie Barkerwood of Haiku Salut said in their press release; "We went to Norway for a show last year where everything was a little overwhelming and humbling. I think it was the mountains that did that. The people that lived in the tiny village had a huge respect for the landscape, weather and nature that we had never really considered.
It changed how I viewed the world and the questionable feeling of coping that came along with that. The album title refers to that. There is nobody controlling your future, you take responsibility for yourself. You make your own meaning.” The album is out 31 July on How Does it Feel to be Loved and is called "Etch and Etch Deep".
We are looking forward to it. <3!
