According to its maker, One Breath was inspired by "the moment before you've got to open yourself up". Calvi's voice, however, is anything but cautious, and often resounds like Boudicca addressing the troops. Still touching on the themes of lust, love and death, her new material amps up the theatricality of passion and sadness, and abandons the Ennio Morricone-aping of her 2011 release in favour of more contemporary experimentation. There's a glam sleaziness to the guitars on Cry, almost Muse-like in pomposity, while the jerky Piece by Piece could have been plucked from St Vincent's Strange Mercy. The highlight comes in the album's final moments, during The Bridge, a celestial piece that sounds more like angels weeping in the Sistine Chapel than a song tagged on to the end of an indie record. One Breath is truly cathartic, but it will leave you a quivering wreck.
