PRE-ORDER THE LP NOW!
The sprawling story of Calva Louise, the band that found each other from opposite corners of the world - whose combined influences and experiences created a myriad of captivating threads entwined into their existence. Metal, punk, electronica and art rock weave through grandiose narratives and cinematic storytelling with a mindblowing visual delivery - Welcome to the Calva Louise Universe and the release of their new studio album, Edge of the Abyss, which is co-produced by Pendulum's Gareth McGrillen and will be released on 11 July via Mascot Records.
You can trace the Calva Louise project—the 'origin' story, if you will— back to ten-year-old Jess Allanic, drawing in her home in Guarenas, on the outskirts of Caracas, Venezuela. There, the genesis of the idea for her story about a hidden world intertwined with our world, began.
Just before her 16th birthday, Jess moved to France, where she met and formed a band with Alizon Taho in school. They would travel to the UK to play shows with limited English and without knowing anyone. They took every experience presented to them - and the consequences that came with them. They took on jobs, stayed in garages, on sofas, and with "friends of friends". Robbed, scammed and taken advantage of, they stayed in cheap motels that were sometimes surrounded by rats.
Drummer Ben Parker - who grew up in New Zealand and moved to the UK aged 14 - completed the line-up. They immediately built a captivating relationship. All three had moved to the UK from overseas and found each other.
Calva Louise built an impressive DIY spirit and formidable reputation on the UK live circuit through performances at Download, 2000Trees, a headline performance on the BBC Introducing Stage at Reading and Leeds festival, as well as tours with Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, Razorlight, Boston Manor, and Bloodywood.
