The music of Anna Calvi is largely cinematic in its presence and power, so hearing her track “Blackout,” off her recently released self-titled debut, as it’s set to dark, charging images is an especially ethereal experience. MTV (yes, that MTV) recently premiered the Michael Baldwin-directed video, which intercuts extreme—and a bit obscured—close ups of Calvi bathed in either a red haze or charcoal shadow with the camera speeding down a train track as gold specks fall. Forget MTV—“Blackout” is meant to be projected on the walls of art museums.
