Finnish musician and producer Jaako Eino Kalevi has not quite earned enough from music to date to quit his day job, and this divides his time between making humid dream-pop and driving a tram in Helsinki. Musically, his vintage sounding blends of shuffling, soft-focus electronic rhythms, loose beats, warm chords and heady vocals is a good fit with Tim Sweeney's Beats in Space label. This first 12" for the New York imprint is packed with delightfully hazy highlights, from the skittering, DFA-goes-Balearic business of "Pass The Cat" and glistening, Secret Circuit-goes-pop bliss of "Senaatio", to the Factory Floor-on-downers electronic eccentricity of "Let The Energy Be Your Teacher (Part 1)".A1 Speak Out 6:07 A2 Pass The Cat 3:50 A3 Sensaatio 4:17 B1 Tecno Souvlaki 5:57 B2 Let The Energy Be Your Teacher (Part 1) 6:32 B3 XO-tic Grlz 4:49
