Is This All There Is? is the first instalment in a trilogy of records which explore identity as a metamorphosis, shaped and reshaped through the experience of falling in love. This was inspired by Anna Calvi’s own perspective shift after becoming a parent. In this first record, Calvi dives into existential questions of modern existence: How do we reclaim intimacy? Is there something more elemental we can connect with? What does it mean to feel truly awake? Following her work scoring the final two seasons of Peaky Blinders and composing an opera with visionary director Robert Wilson, Calvi returns with an EP that plays like a cinematic soundscape — a four-song film arc populated by vivid characters. Her collaborators on this EP — Iggy Pop, Laurie Anderson, Perfume Genius, Matt Berninger — all share a singularity of vision. “They share a kind of subversive honesty,” Calvi notes. “They’re not trying to please anyone. They express exactly who they are.” On this EP their voices become characters in the story, actors in the world she’s creating.
