Album Notes

haiku: music for the thinking man..
With this album Mondo, haiku is back to the rock roots in indie rock style.
haiku is now a complete rock band and the 11 songs present a continuing story through the whole album.
Mondo is about the eternal loop of power and glory as it takes place in the hidden continent of Mañana. On the surface it’s about royalty and despotism. Beneath run all the currents of belief and betrayal. In the eye of the storm is Prince Mondo – not unlike Hamlet. Mondo is reluctant to do the expected, but finally takes on the task of defeating the ruling Shackadon – only to encounter yet another doubt: will he himself be like the Shackadon?
A Danish Newspaper gave mondo a 5 star review and described the album this way: “Definitely a fabulously sounding album, which you can only go into raptures about.“
