In a world of contrast, there’s only one real answer: to tell your own truth. Anna Calvi’s eagerly anticipated third album Hunter is an examination of extremes and the in-between. Exploring what it means to live in a space where the body is entirely able to be as it wants to be, as it should; escaping gender, the binary and choices, both necessary and un.
Hunter is a primal record. A queer, feminist, heavy-bassed, sultry, synth-fuelled, sexy, string-shredding indulgence into what it really means to be free. Hunter is an epic tale through the murky doldrums to the light of love, and safely solidifies Anna Calvi’s title as one of the UK’s most enthralling artists.
