Anna Calvi: New Album 'Hunter'

'Hunter', the third long player from from the BRIT Award and double Mercury Music Prize - nominated Anna Calvi, will be released on 31st August 2018 via Domino.

Produced by Nick Launay (Nick Cave, Grinderman) at Konk Studios in London with some further production in LA, the album was recorded with Anna's band - Mally Harpaz on various instruments and Alex Thomas on drums - with the addition of Adrian Utley from Portishead on keys and Martyn Casey from The Bad Seeds on bass. It has a new rawness, a primal energy into which Calvi pushes the limits of her guitar and voice beyond anything she's recorded before.

Anna Calvi: New Single 'Don't Beat The Girl Out Of My Boy'

Anna Calvi shares a video for the album's first single, 'Don't Beat The Girl Out Of My Boy'. A battle cry with a rousing chorus, the song was partly written while thinking about how young children are when they're conditioned to follow gender roles - in particular, the "heartbreaking" process through which small boys are taught not to cry or show emotions. Speaking about the track, Anna said the following: "It's a song about the defiance of happiness. It's about being free to identify yourself in whichever way you please, without any restraints from society."

Directed by rising star and recent Kendrick Lamar collaborator, William Kennedy, and choreographed by Aaron Sillis (FKA Twigs).

The KVB: New Single 'Above Us' & Tour

After intense touring 'Of Desire' in Europe, Asia and beyond, The KVB returned to their studio to further immerse themselves in sonic experimentation. The resulting 'Above Us' heralds the next chapter in the adopted-Berliners dark, electronic pop development. With waves of synthesisers, flourishes of surf guitar and sequences driving with nervous energy, the tension finally relieves with a surging, euphoric chorus.

Brighter and more expansive than ever, the track demonstrates the bands growing ability to create sonic journeys, yet retains the atmosphere synonymous with The KVB.

"'Above Us' is about defiance in reaction to the anxieties of modern life. In a world where you and your data are the product, 'Above Us' seeks to reclaim the power over yourself and to make your own decisions." - Kat & Nick, The KVB

This Summer sees the duo make several festival appearances including Green Man and Meltdown the latter of which is curated by The Cure's Robert Smith.
