Lyrics: 

There's plenty of time
To lose and win and lose again
There's plenty of promises
To be made and broken

Oh and less pride than you can strip
Cataclysms of the mind
To tear you from side to side

Oh and there's envy
An old friend of mine
He lingers by my window on rainy days
And he's got he's got oh so much to say

Tells me to worry (say you're sorry)
That surely I should be sorry
That torment is but necessary

That we live and die
In sinuous ways
In tempered will and fortuitous glory days

And he's got eternity to kill
From breath to breath
From mouth to mouth
From fragile, flaming, furious heart to heart

And mine are his
And mine are mere
Syllables in conversations that he hears
And twists and moulds
In spurious forms
To never leave a rose devoid of thorns

Still flowers bloom
Still morning breaks
Still stars must first align for foisted rupture's sake

And there plenty of time
To win and lose and win again
And there's plenty of promises

Sinuous Ways

Lyrics: 

My head is aching
It keeps on spinning
And I'd like to understand
What is is that commands 
Us to throw ourselves into the quicksand
Put our thoughts on hold
Just to believe it's worth the fall

'Cause we are the reckless
And you can't stop us
And we are the restless
You feel our lust

My eyes can't see
Bring me back to me
I'd like to understand 
Why I hate what's in my hands

'Cause we are the reckless
And you can't stop us
And we are the restless
You feel our lust

And I, I'd like to see
What we're gonna be

'Cause we are the reckless
And you can't stop us
And we are the restless
You feel our lust

'Cause we are the reckless
You can't stop us
We are the restless
You feel our lust

Lust

Lyrics: 

I think there's a trigger I pulled without knowing 
And I'm watching the splendour slowly turn to nothing

Under dimmed out lights, silhouettes turn
It's not a goodbye I can't stand the burn

Cause I, should've shot you down 
Right when I could 

Don't try to tell me I misunderstood 
'Cause the words that drip off your lips for show
Are like murder telling you to ask for more

Under dimmed out lights, silhouettes turn
It's not a goodbye I can't stand the burn

Cause I, should've shot you down 
Right when I could

Under dimmed out lights, silhouettes turn
It's not a goodbye I can't stand the burn

Cause I, should've shot you down 
Right when I could

I think there's a trigger I pulled without knowing 
And I'm watching the splendour slowly turn to nothing

Sacrifice

“an act that feels equal parts timely and timeless." - ​Louderthanwar

"She is an eclectic artist, and certainly one who does not hold back." - ​The Line Of Best Fit

“Vulnerable yet cynical, Elea Calvet is above all
memorable.” - ​VENTS Magazine

“Elea Calvet taps into music’s emotive foundations with elements of Tom Waits & Patti Smith reminiscent in her lyrical style. Born in Canada & raised in India,
Elea has since settled in UK and is set on becoming one of the most prolific alternative artists on the independent scene today.” - ​Music News

“Enviably young, Elea Calvet’s talent also ought to make you delighted and yet insanely jealous in equal measures. French-Canadian by birth, she’s firmly
Bristol-based, her urban grungy blues making her akin to a millennial Patti Smith” - ​Bristol Live Magazine

"Electrifying debut" - ​It's All Indie

"She has made her hallmark to a swamp-tarnished, banshee howl, like PJ Harvey or Patti Smith going gospel or the sound of yet another soul being sold at a midnight crossroads." - ​Dancing About Architecture

“Enthralling”​ - Indie Buddie

“this is just the type of empowering music that you should be listening to”​ - Afterdark

"It is elusive and evanescent yet ecstatic and emotionally universal" - ​The Swindonian

"It's a bold, confident and unique introduction to an artist who's destined for great things" (...) "Both haunting and nail-biting, Eléa doesn’t shy away in this spectacular effort, pushing her gripping vocal and blues rock guitar strings to new levels, forming a towering sound reminiscent of PJ Harvey and Feist." - ​Tap The Feed

  "The electrifying Elea Calvet will terrify and mesmerise in equal measure" - ​Songs of Praise
