ANNA CALVI – Sydney, NSW – 08/02/12

See ANNA CALVI up close and personal. She’s on fire at the moment; listen to her eponymous debut or watch any video of her performing and you’ll see why. The half-Italian, half-British artist’s deliciously dramatic vocals and darkly cinematic instrumentation have won countless plaudits (including a prestigious Mercury Prize nomination) and the praise of Brian Eno who calls her ‘the best thing since Patti Smith’, which is not a compliment you’d throw out of bed. Check out her incendiary performance at the Mercury Prize ceremony this year.

“On stage, it’s impossible not to be seduced by Calvi” – Guardian

“Calvi’s live performances are an eerie and entrancing visual treat” – The Independent

9/10 “This self-titled collection of 10 songs is perhaps the first great record of 2011” – NME
