The main reference of their hypnotic music is krautrock from 40 years back, but they do throw in a few afrobeat rhythms, ominously cinematic keyboard sound walls, hippy Middle Eastern melodies and some dancey pulse. Kaukolampi’s idiosyncratic singing style has been sorely missed, although it comes only in small doses this time. Here and there you can also make out the distant breathy vocals of Norwegian pop princess Annie.

(Nas-t fucked that jawn up for real)
I Let these thoughts get in my head
Feel the pain from all the things you said
Tell me lies make it good I wanna hear it
When you not here girl I still feel your spirit
Shawty like a melody in my head
Fuck a fight let’s get this money instead
Call you over need you here in my bed

Fuck you, no I love you girl what I meant (Yea, yea)
I got these melodies in my head
They prolly follow me when I’m dead
I know you need me, girl you want me
Don’t need to tell me know you love me
Girl we like the beauty and the beast huh
I’m the one that out that Louie all up on yo feet huh
Girl I Got yo heart and girl I’m playing it for keeps huh
Looking through my phone I know you tryna catch me cheating
I don’t love nobody else

Still got pain from heartbreaks they don’t know what I felt
Everybody left me said fuck it do it myself
Fuck em I don’t need tell em all I said farewell
I Let these thoughts get in my head
Feel the pain from all the things you said
Tell me lies make it good I wanna hear it
When you not here girl I still feel your spirit

Fuck a fight let’s get this money instead

Call you over need you here in my bed
Fuck you, no I love you girl what I meant (Yea, yea)
