Kalipo “Yaruto”

18 Jul 2014 — Henning Lahmann

Kalipo is the solo moniker of Berlin-based producer Jakob Häglsperger, at least to German-speaking readers probably better known as one third of left-field electro pop outfit Frittenbude. Where the trio indulge in propelling ryhthms and straightforward anthems with mildly provocative lyrics, Häglsperger's own project keeps things slightly more subtle. "Yaruto", lead single for Kalipo's forthcoming debut full-length of the same name, is a very contemporary piece of electronic that relies on a house-y scaffolding which provides a comfortable basis for the track's dominating manipulated vocals, a well-established formular that lands somewhere between Caribou and SOHN. Check it out below.

The single is out today on local imprint Antime. Get it digitally via Juno over here. The Yaruto LP will follow on September 12.
