Opening brace Suddenly and Eliza are the accessible entranceway into a tension-filled and challenging album, channelling something of the dark pop that forebears Siouxsie Sioux and PJ Harvey created.
Elsewhere, Calvi moves between the intimate, the cinematic and the cathartic with a naturalness that suggests the world is her oyster.
