After his proper international debut on Domino sublabel Weird World, Jaakko Eino Kalevi took a break to record and tour with his old collaborator Long-Sam.

Man Duo seems like a perfect amalgamation of their respective strengths: Jaakko’s charmingly dusty alt-AOR vibes get boosted by Sami’s more electronic leanings. Whether this notion reflects their working process at all is beside the point, it’s just a great combination and a wonderful album.
