We’re big fans of Finnish psych dreamer Jaakko Eino Kalevi here at La.Ga.Sta. Having already impressed us with his breakthrough 2013 EP “Dreamzone” and last year’s disco six-track EP “Yin Yang Theatre” on Tim Sweeney’s Beats In Space Records, the self-taught multi-instrumentalist and former tram driver in Helsinki, who’s currently based in Berlin, is finally gearing up for the release of his self-titled debut album. Set to arrive on June 15th on Domino’s sub-label Weird World, the ten-track album is said to be a “richly immersive and hyper-vivid record that sparkles with modern pop gems.”
In the meantime, we’re treated to the dreamy sounds of the record’s lead single “Double Talk”, a perfectly crafted tune that finds Jaakko Eino Kalevi in such fine form. Give it a spin or two above and drive slow. You can pre-order the album here.
