Talking about hitting the road with Stray From The Path, they say, “we cannot wait to open for Stray From The Path, we're huge fans of the band, so when we got the offer, we felt truly honoured! we're also extremely excited to be playing with Alpha Wolf and Graphic Nature, two of the most innovative and incredible bands.”
Calva Louise is Jess Allanic (Vocals/Guitar/Keyboard), Alizon Taho (Bass/Backing Vocals) and Ben Parker (Drums/Backing Vocals). The sprawling story of Calva Louise is captivating. The band that found each other from opposite corners of the world -Venezuela, New Zealand and France- found their home and community in the UK. Their combined influences and experiences create an incredible melting pot of musicality, and with Jess Allanic's compelling narrative vision, they've conceived something genuinely unique.
Tunnel Vision continues the extraordinary journey that Calva Louise has been taking us on. Set in September 1994, the video picks up where the previous single Impeccable left off and continues their incredible Sci-Fi adventure.
Jonnie has left for the Fractal World through one of the only active gates, leaving Vic and Louise behind. Louise has been tasked with fixing a device originating from the Fractal World, an object capable of projecting both worlds simultaneously and even predicting its future constructions and developments - opening hidden gates to many other worlds and temporal dimensions that are also superposed onto our so-called ‘real world’.
Talking about the song, the band say, "Tunnel Vision deals with the decisions we make that can sometimes lead to what some could see as reckless actions, which could either further or derail our purpose. To some, these decisions may seem like a necessary step to further a larger plan, but at what cost? To others, the battle of cultivating life goes before anything else."
The new album, ”Edge of the Abyss” sees characters travelling between different dimensions, with people who mysteriously resemble doubles of each of us, like shadows that seem to stalk us but who, in reality, seek to communicate. Who are these beings? What do they want from us? How can we reach them?
Set in 1994, Impeccable is a direct sequel to W.T.F., which introduced the protagonist, Louise. Lo Que Vale - translated into English as 'What is Worth' followed Aimless, a reflective catharsis of human communication. The cinematic sci-fi videos for the album singles show different times and worlds where some characters have encounters with their 'doubles. W.T.F. is the prequel of the previous singles, La Corriente and Under the Skin - all directed and VFX by Jess.
"Our album is called ‘Edge of the Abyss’ because that's how we live. One misstep and everything could fall apart," Jess says. "I emigrated twice, so I've already had a culture shock twice. This hurts a little less because this is where I want to be" she says.
