Stream Anna Calvi Covering FKA Twigs

• 13th May 2014

Anna Calvi has announced she will be releasing a 5 track covers EP entitled ‘Strange Weather’ on 14th July 2014 – you can stream her cover of FKA twigs below.

The EP features covers of tracks by Suicide, David Bowie, FKA twigs, Connan Mockasin as well as a stunning collaboration with David Byrne on the title track, a cover of Keren Ann’s ‘Strange Weather’.

The Talking Heads man had the following to say on working with Anna:

‘I’m a big fan of Anna’s two records… and I caught her tour after her first record at Bowery Ballroom here in NY. ‘Epic’ I think is the word that is often used. So when Thomas Bartlett said he was going to be in the studio producing an EP of Anna doing covers I immediately agreed to join in. I was invited to suggest songs and I loved the last Keren Ann record and I thought Strange Weather had a haunting quality that might suit Anna…. so we did that, and Anna then suggested I join in on the Connan Mockasin track she’d done too.’
