Carla Dal Forno's Confession Turns Personal After Creative Block
Australian musician Carla Dal Forno releases her fourth solo album, Confession, on April 28, 2026, via her own label. The album marks a shift from her initial intention to create an abstract work, instead becoming deeply personal after she spontaneously wrote the song "Going Out" at home. Recorded in a partially abandoned hospital in rural Victoria, the album explores themes of unrequited love, obsession, and domestic intimacy. Dal Forno performed all instrumentation, blending electronic atmospherics with folk influences like the '60s European pop-sounding "Gave You Up." The album includes four instrumental interludes. Dal Forno, who began her career in Melbourne bands Mole House and Fingers, released her solo debut You Know What It's Like in 2016. She plans a US tour but faces visa delays, with processing times extended from 12 to 18 months. She is also considering a long-distance collaboration with another musician after a decade of solo work.
