Anna Calvi – Anna Calvi

Assured and strangely camp

Anna Calvi’s mix of atmospherics and virtuoso guitar have won her fans in Nick Cave and Brian Eno. Only the third woman to ever sign to Domino, Calvi’s debut album is assured and strangely camp. For all the PJ Harvey comparisons Calvi will inevitably attract this record is more alternative cabaret than gothic melodrama – and much better for it.
