Today marks the release of Calva Louise’s ambitious new EP POPURRÍ, and to celebrate the alternative trio have dropped a new single & video, I Wish.
“I Wish explores new intentions and determination”, explains vocalist and guitarist Jess Allanic, “The recent lockdown climate has been a challenge for many artists, however it’s also provided us the opportunity to break our mould, use our resources and push ourselves to have full creative freedom. I used this time to brush up on my illustration and animation skills to create our music videos and the EP artwork, and Alizon and Ben have been creating a new live set up that transposes this new sound into our live shows – which we hope won’t be before too long! We also worked with our friend Bobby Bentham (Strange Bones), who produced and mixed the track – he did an amazing job!”
| With roots in Venezuela, France and New Zealand, the trio crossed paths in London during 2016 and formed Calva Louise. They hit the ground running, immersing themselves in the UK’s burgeoning live circuit and honing a blistering live show. With new EP POPURRÍ, their music encompasses a sound as eclectic as their nationalities. From clanging indie, to dark pop, to hypnotic electronica, to frenzied punk. It’s a molotov cocktail that really works, with plaudits from BBC Radio 1, Clash, Underground England, Fred Perry Subculture, Radio X, alongside high profile fans such as Albert Hammond Jr (The Strokes). Calva Louise’s mission statement has always been to keep fans on their toes whilst staying true to their identity. New EP POPURRÍ takes this blueprint to the next level, with new electronic elements and experimentation adding a new dimension to their soundscape. POPURRÍ  |
