Jaakko Eino Kalevi
Jaakko Eino Kalevi is what happens when synth-pop, new wave, cosmic jazz and dub suddenly collide. The native Finn and Athenian-by-choice sees his latest album as a » collection of songs from a specific time period, without any attempt to tie them together «. A double album of elemental pop and baroque electronics, peppered with melodies and secrets – the Finn’s wildest statement to date. Kalevi’s music flows with entire universes. It can wrap us in cotton wool, but then become cool and unapproachable in the next moment. The guests on » Chaos Magic « are as dazzling as his musical horizon: it includes musical contributions from French actress and singer Alma Jodorowsky, Jimi Tenor, Faux Real, Yu-Ching Huang and John Moods.
