brian eno und nick cave sind ihr bereits verfallen und die düster rockenden haudegen von grinderman hat die musik der londonerin so fasziniert, dass sie anna calvi als support auf ihrer jüngsten europatour eingeladen haben. dort konnte anna calvi ihr beeindruckendes talent als meisterin morbider musikalität und dramatik und ihre phänomenale bühnenpräsenz beweisen. wie aus einem tarrantino-film entsprungen, steht sie auf der bühne mit ihren rot geschminkten lippen und ihrer gitarre, aus der hochmelodische klänge perlen. boleroesk entwerfen schlagzeug und gitarre immer gewaltigere spannungsbögen, verlieren sich aber nie endgültig im melodischen chaos. denn über ihnen thront und regiert calvis hypnotische stimme.am 14. januar erscheint das gleichnamige debütalbum von anna calvi bei domino, das sie mit rob ellis (u.a. pj harvey) in london und frankreich produziert hat. es ist ein überraschend selbstsicheres debüt, das ihre talente als songwriterin, gitarristin und sängerin auf zehn songs gleichermaßen beeindruckend vorstellt.

for their new release, >with our heads in the clouds and our hearts in the fields<, these two have somehow gone back in time to capture the sound of glacial moving, dark cough syrup pop music. mr. wiltzie has manipulated his trademark stars of the lid sound of haunting ambience, deconstructing, and funneling it through the beautiful voice, and song compositions of chantal acda. together, sleepingdog have gently abducted these gaseous tones, and choruses of pacific tree frogs into some beautifully crafted melancholic orchestration that reminds us all that we exist in a world of strangers, drifting only two feet apart. >with our heads in the clouds and our hearts in the fields< is sleepingdogs third album after >naked in a clean bed< (zeal - 2006) and the critically acclaimed >polar life< (gizeh/zeal - 2008).

vorbote des album ist die single >baltimore<, die von den unruhen im osten der usa im april 1968 nach dem attentat auf martin luther king inspiriert ist und mit gastvocals von niemand geringerem als primal scream - frontmann bobby gillespie aufwarten kann. f³r turzi ist der song eine musikalische reminiszenz an seine helden aus der gro?en zeit von britpop und madchester rave anfang der 90er jahre. und das der track schwer nach dieser zeit klingt, liegt nicht nur an gillespies mitwirken, sondern auch an der produktion û denn f³r den mix von baltimore zeichnet mit max heyes und brendan lynch a.k.a lynch mob das britischen kult-produzentenduo jener tagen verantwortlich.
