Carla dal Forno has announced her new LP Confession will drop on April 24th via Kallista Records. Along with the news, the artist has shared lead single “Going Out” paired with a video directed by Hanna Chetwin. Says dal Forno: “”Going Out” was the first song I wrote for the record. It arrived very quickly — the music felt propulsive, almost like moving towards something you can’t undo.”

she continues, This wasn’t the album I intended to make,” says Carla dal Forno. “I originally wanted something veiled and abstract, but I realised I couldn’t hide behind abstraction — the songs only worked when I leaned into emotional truth.”

Confession is dal Forno’s fourth LP, written and recorded over several years in a small country town, in a studio housed inside a partially abandoned hospital.

“I live in a small country town that offers a stillness my life didn’t previously have,” she explains. “In that quiet, feelings I might’ve ignored in a busy city grew loud. At the heart of the album is a friendship that became emotionally charged in an unexpected way,” dal Forno says. “That shift brought daydreaming, jealousy, tenderness, confusion, self-awareness — and eventually acceptance.”

The drama here is internal, incremental, lived.

Where earlier work often observed from a distance, Confession turns inward. The voice is closer, warmer, less shielded. Dal Forno sings plainly and conversationally, with an emotional precision that sharpens the everyday into something quietly unsettling. “Going Out” captures feeling in motion — heightened, looping, restless — dramatizing desire and fixation, while “Confession” pulls back, naming the vulnerability beneath it.

“In the end, Confession became the most personal, unguarded thing I’ve ever made,” she reflects. “I wrote plainly about what I was actually living through.”

The album traces a subtle arc: attraction blooming where it shouldn’t; obsession quietly taking hold; fantasy overtaking reality; clarity arriving slowly, sometimes painfully. “I Go Back,” written during afternoons spent painting outdoors, turns toward nature as a way of recalibrating — pastoral and hazy, recalling Virginia Astley, Pram, and The Fates.

“Being alone in nature helped me make sense of what I was feeling,” she says. “Gave You Up” closes the record quietly, a moment of acceptance without bitterness, where imagined futures are released.
