One Breath is the second album of British singer-songwriter Anna Calvi, released on 7 October 2013, by Domino Records. The album was recorded at Black Box studios in France with mixing completed in Texas by Calvi's new producer John Congleton.
Calvi described One Breath as "the moment before you've got to open yourself up, and it's about how terrifying that is. It's scary and it's thrilling. It's also full of hope, because whatever has to happen hasn't happened yet." Domino has described 'One Breath' as a "bold and confident record that begins an exciting new chapter in this uniquely talented artist's career".
The trailer for One Breath, credited to longtime collaborator Emma Nathan, was released on 5 August 2013. The artwork for the album was created by photographer Roger Deckker.
Music Week awarded Calvi their Album of the Week for One Breath. The album was nominated for the 2014 Mercury Prize.
