Haiku Salut

Bleak and Beautiful

Joel Frieders | June 18, 2015

Haiku Salut have been a guilty pleasure of mine for a few years.

They're the perfect "stare out the window when you're supposed to be working" or "imagine yourself playing a glockenspiel when you're supposed to be bathing three children and getting them ready for bed" or "shaving a spruce tree with a rhododendrum when you should be paying your taxes".

You can see how magically delicious their instrumental music is to me because I'm talking out of my ass all over again, and I'm perfectly okay with that shit.

I love you Haiku Salut, please include a sharp intake of breath in EVERY song from here on out. That'll be the way I know you're writing all this music for me. Sort of like how when I'm on live television and I touch my heart with my ankle, that means I love you from me. Right?

And stop closing the blinds, I can't see in when you do that.

Love,
Dad
