Sweet dreams are made of this.

"Kalli once fronted critics' darling Without Gravity, applying his airy Nick Drake-ish vocal to the band's floating pop-dream debut Tenderfoot, exemplified by the distinctive "Beautiful Son." Three years later, it's clear who gave Without Gravity its weight, as Kalli releases what might as well be Tenderfoot, Part 2. Working with producer / musician Arnar Gudjonsson, Kalli looses his quiet vocal on a set of rainy, synth-laden, acoustic-guitar-based songs that center on sadness, solitude, and post-midnight solipsism - yet melancholy has rarely sounded so pretty. Sweet dreams are made of this."
