Anna Calvi

Calvi returned with her third album, Hunter, in August 2018, which she recorded at London's Konk studio. Produced by Nick Launay and featuring Utley and the Bad Seeds' Martyn Casey along with Harpaz and drummer Alex Thomas, the album's defiance of gender norms found Calvi at her most uninhibited. Hunter charted throughout Europe and reached number 22 on the U.K. Albums Chart, earning Calvi her third Mercury Prize nomination, making her the first solo artist to accomplish this feat. The following year, along with contributing the song "Julie" to Joanna Hogg's semi-autobiographical film The Souvenir and performing on Jeff Goldblum's album I Shouldn't Be Telling You This, Calvi wrote and performed the score to the fifth season of the acclaimed BBC One show Peaky Blinders. The show's official soundtrack also included her original song "You're Not God" and her cover of FKA Twigs' "Papi Pacify." In 2020, Calvi revisited Hunter with Hunted, a set of more intimate versions of that album's songs that included contributions from Charlotte Gainsbourg, Julia Holter, Courtney Barnett and Idles' Joe Talbot.
