Anna Calvi

Signed to the super-hip Domino Records and admired by Brian Eno and Nick Cave, Anna Calvi is a London rookie whose bloodred lips serve as the world’s last line of defense against her voice—a deep, throaty swirl of gothic drama, only intensified by her moody guitar. If this script sounds familiar, note that Calvi’s self-titled LP was coproduced by Rob Ellis, who years ago recorded the debut album of another young Brit, PJ Harvey.
