Jaakko Eino Kalevi Returns With Mini-Album ‘Dissolution’

And he wants to launch it in Cairo...

Finnish artist Jaakko Eino Kalevi will release new mini-album 'Dissolution' on November 22nd.

The songwriter follows last year's 'Out Of Touch' full length, and his new mini-album finds the Nordic artist moving in another direction.

Typically ambitious, 'Dissolution' lands on November 22nd with Jaakko aiming to launch the release in Cairo.

There are some European live dates, too, with the Finnish songwriter sharing the title track up front.

'Dissolution' is online now, and it finds Jaakko Eino Kalevi sparring against Berlin-based Taiwanese singer Yu-Ching Huang.

At one point he sings in his native tongue, before Yu-Ching returns: “I won’t make contact / I enter the limit state…”

Kevin Luna directs the video, and he explains: "The concept was pretty minimal to start: A man cannot stop dancing in the city of Las Vegas. The details fell into place from there."

"There's a dream logic to the flow of this video and I think Vegas is pretty dreamy if you manage to take a few steps back from the spectacle. I wanted to show how the desert, the suburbs and the strip all combine to form this place that feels like a pinnacle of some kind of collective hallucination. A dream that we've forced into reality, from which we can't wake up from anymore."

Tune in now.
