He explores what he calls this “essential, blissed out” state on his second album for Weird World – as he meditates, in classic Jaakko fashion, on the merry-go-round of the daily grind. Drawing inspiration from time spent in Athens, on \u003ci\u003eOut of Touch\u003c\/i\u003e the Finnish songwriter broadens his horizons while focusing on his inner self. Written and produced by Jaakko Eino Kalevi in 2017 in studios in Helsinki and Berlin, where he lives, these ten new songs are among the richest he has composed. He also plays every instrument on the album, including the gliding lines of saxophone that lace the record’s lush grooves. Ranging in style from the Gerry Rafferty swagger of \u003ci\u003eChina Eddie\u003c\/i\u003e and Motown psych of \u003ci\u003eThis World \u003c\/i\u003eto the Aegean dub of \u003ci\u003eConceptual Mediterranean (Part 1)\u003c\/i\u003e and continental pop of \u003ci\u003ePeople in the Centre of the City\u003c\/i\u003e, each song is characterised by that familiar JEK warmth and melodic flair. This album – his fifth solo set – feels like a natural step forward for an artist whose all-round skills have led him down some intriguing paths in the time since his last full-length. Notably, he played on David Byrne’s recent \u003ci\u003eAmerican Utopia\u003c\/i\u003e album, and in 2016 he was invited to join the line-up of Crammed Discs’ cult Belgian new-wave band Aksak Maboul for a run of shows.

The self-titled, ten-track collection finds Jaakko on spellbinding form, composing sumptuous and wildly original music that teems with ideas and more than delivers on the promise of its predecessor, the breakthrough 2013 EP 'Dreamzone'. Jaakko Eino Kalevi marks the start of a striking new chapter for the Berlin-based artist - a former tram driver in Helsinki - who's already made quite an impression on the international stage these past 12 months. The record was already recorded by the time Jaakko relocated to Berlin last summer, and so later in the year he escaped to New York to mix the record with Nicolas Vernhes, whose almighty and rich recent credits include The War On Drugs and Run The Jewels. The music takes it's cues from influences as broad-ranging as Lee 'Scratch' Perry (for his 'singularity and drive', explains Jaakko), the 'softness and adultness' of Chris Rea, Finnish composer Jimi Tenor and the hyper-vivid fantasy worlds of the more contemporary Ariel Pink and Connan Mockasin.

The Deluxe LP format comes with a bonus 7\" featuring 'Letter' and 'Walking' and a highly collectable, full-colour comic telling the mythical story of visionary musician Jaakko Eino Kalevi as illustrated by Finland's legendary cartoonist Vilunki 3000, often described as the cosmic lovechild of Robert Crumb and Walt Disney.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Weird World","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50493054484811,"sku":"389196","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/b07de5cd-e431-4765-a137-88d035b65b6f_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727695258"},{"product_id":"dissolution","title":"Dissolution","description":"\u003cp\u003eFinnish psych-pop voyager Jaakko Eino Kalevi returns with a new release called \u003ci\u003eDissolution\u003c\/i\u003e via Weird World.
