Haiku - Mondo (2008)

Here, you think you should pay attention to a regular rock album. And then Danish Haiku serves up a surprising string of magnificent, subdued rock compositions on his new album 'Mondo'. The album's 11 tracks are a long adventure about the prince becoming king and marrying the young, beautiful woman who gives birth to son Mondo while on the run from the king. There is plenty of drama and poetry on the album, and the story and lyrics are written by Sokoma, who also voices most songs. And it makes the difference. As a mix of Leonard Cohen and Neil Diamond, he fascinates the listener with his deep, crisp voice. An absolutely delicious album that you can only fall in love with.
