Anna Calvi’s approach to composing for “Peaky Blinders” differed from her solo albums, as she aimed to capture the characters’ inner worlds rather than her own. She experimented with various guitar techniques and embraced her intuition, finding the most productive moments when her emotions guided her playing. Her Telecaster guitar became a key instrument, providing a versatile blend of clarity and warmth, complemented by pedals that added texture and ambience.
