Anna Calvi Announces New Collaborative Album Hunted Reworking Songs from Hunter, Featuring Courtney Barnett, Charlotte Gainsbourg and Julia Holter

English guitarist Anna Calvi has announced a reworking of songs from her 2018 album Hunter. The new project, which will be called Hunted, will feature Australian guitarist Courtney Barnett, English singer and actress Charlotte Gainsbourg, and American singer/songwriter Julia Holter.

Calvi released the rework for “Don’t Beat the Girl out of My Boy” featuring Barnett that will be released as a part of Hunted. The song sounds more raw and unpolished than the 2018 rendition, as the use of acoustic instrumentation allows Calvi and Barnett to present themselves through a different lens, which in turn allows the listeners to listen with a different perspective.

When talking about Hunted, Calvi stated, “I find something especially intimate about sharing these most private recordings with my favorite singers and asking them to lend their voices and artistic sensibility. Courtney Barnett is an amazing artist. Her voice and guitar playing together are mind blowing. Her ability to connect the profound to the smallest moments of human experience is the unique talent of a true artist.”

In addition to the single, Calvi released the cover art and track list for Hunted, as well as a slew of tour dates, including a set at Coachella (this will be Calvi’s first time touring in North America in six years). Check all of those out below:

Drew Feinerman: I have just completed my senior at the University of Michigan majoring in international studies with an emphasis in political economics and development, with a minor in Chinese language and culture, and I have recently been accepted into the Berklee School of Music's masters of music business program. Although my academic interests include economics, political science, and history, I consider music to be my one true passion. Music is, and has always been, a driving force for the way I think and act every day of my life. I have been playing the tenor saxophone since the age of ten, and playing an instrument at a high level has allowed me to only further my understanding and appreciation for music. While I grew up listening to predominantly classic rock, I soon found myself gravitating toward jazz, hip-hop, funk, and other genres, as my learned to both play and analyze music as a listener. As a writer, I am able to apply my skills both as a musician and a listener, and look forward to the opportunity to being able to express my thoughts on various stories in the music industry.
