They played through Austria, The Czech Republic, Serbia, Poland, etc., and also appeared at festivals in Moscow and Liverpool. In 2017 they were warming up the stage at Kino \u0160i\u0161ka for bigger names like SUUNS and The Jesus &amp; Mary Chain. The track &#8216;Rosetta&#8217; from the before-mentioned EP was chosen as the &#8216;song of the day&#8217;&nbsp; on the KEXP radio from Seattle.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2018 they released their first LP through KAPA Records entitled &#8216;Where if not Now&#8217;. It got many great reviews in Slovenia and abroad and was named album of the year by Slovenian magazine Mladina and got second place at the Croatian Muzika.hr portal in the category of best albums from the ex-yu region. They promoted the album at live shows in Slovenia and abroad, which also included a short tour of Spain at the end of 2018 and the Balkans (Serbia, Macedonia, Croatia, Bosnia) in February 2019. They also appeared at the legendary &#8216;Iz\u0161tekani&#8217; (unplugged) program on radio Val 202 and the performance was also released in digital format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2022 they released the highly anticipated second album through KAPA Records &#8216;Loose Contacts\/Tense Present&#8217; on which they combine influences from shoegaze, postpunk, krautrock, and noise with even more confidence. The album is the result of years of searching, reinvention, and the final discovery, it is an album of opposites, reflecting the duality of today&#8217;s world. The album was well-received by the public and the media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/linktr.ee\/haikugarden\" target=\"_blank\">haikugarden<br><\/a><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=UEsr6l4Y18c\" target=\"_blank\">youtube<\/a><br><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=xI_SNvKY5Ik\" target=\"_blank\">youtube2<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":4055,"template":"","sajeta_edition":[76],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Haiku Garden (Slo) - Sajeta<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sajeta.org\/en\/edition\/artist\/haiku-garden-slo\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Haiku Garden (Slo) - Sajeta\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"An\u017ee Knez \u2013 drumsMatev\u017e Bitenc \u2013 bass&nbsp;Klemen Tehovnik \u2013&nbsp; guitar, synths, vocal, samplesLuka Flegar \u2013 guitars, vocals, sitar Haiku Garden is a shoegaze\/neopsychedelic band from Ljubljana that plays loud and noisy guitar music with pop influences.
