Jaakko Eino Kalevi is proud to announce details of his new self-titled album, due for release 15 June 2015, and his first full-length album for Weird World. The 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 self-titled were recorded in various studios throughout Helsinki, and see the artist taking on the writing, performing and recording duties almost exclusively on his own. Once recording was complete, the album was mixed with Nicolas Vernhes (War on Drugs, Run the Jewels) in New York City.
