After releasing three Mercury Prize-nominated albums in the 2010s, British art-pop singer-songwriter Anna Calvi has spent much of the subsequent decade immersed in the world of Peaky Blinders, whether composing its score or crafting songs inspired by its characters (2022’s Tommy EP). Is This All There Is? isn’t connected to the hit crime series, however, it retains a certain noirish televisual sensibility, with Calvi playing the role of expert casting director on four tracks that each pair her with a scenery-chewing all-star collaborator. With its street-prowling, “The Passenger”-like swing, “God’s Lonely Man” is tailor-made for an Iggy Pop cameo, and the punk godfather delivers a slithery performance worthy of his mid-’70s Berlin dalliance with Bowie; likewise, the Matt Berninger-assisted title track feels like Calvi’s answer to “Heroes,” albeit with the original’s valorous spirit extinguished to reflect this age of chronic disappointment. These two new originals bookend a pair of captivating covers: With the help of Perfume Genius, Calvi transforms Will Oldham’s folk elegy “I See a Darkness” into a Twin Peaks-like ambient torch song, while the combination of Laurie Anderson’s plainspoken delivery and Calvi’s operatic urgency foregrounds the very human desperation embedded in Kraftwerk’s digital-age commentary “Computer Love.”
