After releasing three Mercury Prize-nominated albums in the 2010s, London art-pop singer-songwriter Anna Calvi has spent much of the subsequent decade immersed in the world of <i>Peaky Blinders</i>, whether composing its score or crafting songs inspired by its characters (2022’s <i>Tommy</i> EP). <i>Is This All There Is?</i> 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 <i>Twin Peaks</i>-like ambient torch song, while the combination of Laurie Anderson’s plain-spoken delivery and Calvi’s operatic urgency foregrounds the very human desperation embedded in Kraftwerk’s digital-age commentary “Computer Love”.
