Waaaait a second. When I was 7 years old, I was wholly preoccupied with learning cursive, eating Chicken McNuggets, and trying to decide whether girls were worthwhile company. I can’t say for sure when it was that music entered the purview of my interests, but I’m almost positive it wasn’t before middle school. And even then, I spent a genuinely embarrassing amount of time listening to atrocious stuff, like Puff Daddy & The Family.

So what, right? It’s hard not to be a young’n and have horrible taste. Perhaps I should qualify that: it’s hard not to be an American young’n and have horrible taste — at least one Finnish 7-year-old is putting us to shame by releasing an album on on the hip, experimental, folk-ish label Fonal, suggesting that Scandinavians have a bit more going for them than just their superior quality of life and breathtaking attractiveness. They’re apparently endowed with kick-ass musical instincts as well.

The 7-year-old Finn in question is Eelis Mikael Salminen a.k.a. Eeliks:en, and on October 29, he’s releasing his debut album Suutre Teiter. After a reportedly failed attempt at recording the album on his iPhone, Eeliks:en was persuaded to continue the project by his dad. Eelinks:en describes his music as a “mix between electronic and dance music,” garnished further with lyrics straight out of a gibberish dictionary. Check out the title track below, and try not to feel unaccomplished while reminiscing about your primary school days.
