Anna Calvi has shared the title track from her much anticipated third studio album, Hunter, due for release on 31st August 2018 via Domino.
“Hunter” sees Calvi celebrating the transcendent aspects of pleasure and finding a community and home in queer spaces. According to Calvi, the track is about “exploring a more subversive sexuality, which goes further than what is expected of a woman in our patriarchal heteronormative society.”
Calvi elaborates further:

“Hunter” follows the release of the album’s first single, “Don’t Beat The Girl Out Of My Boy”. The accompanying video was directed by rising star and recent Kendrick Lamar collaborator, William Kennedy, and choreographed by Aaron Sillis (FKA Twigs).
