£16.66 (£19.99 incl. VAT)

Is This All There Is? is the first instalment in atrilogy of records that explore identity as a metamorphosis, shaped and reshaped through the experience of falling in love. This was inspired by Anna Calvis 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 wecan connect with? What does it mean to feel trulyawake? Following her work scoring the final two seasons ofPeaky Blinders and composing an opera with visionary director Robert Wilson, Calvi returns with an EP that plays like a cinematic soundscape - afour-song film arc populated by vivid characters. Her collaborators on this EP - Iggy Pop, Laurie Anderson, Perfume Genius, Matt Berninger - allshare a singularity of vision. They share a kind of subversive honesty, Calvi notes. Theyre 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.
