Carla dal Forno has shared a new video for her new single “Side By Side,” the track is off her forthcoming release Come Around out, which drops on November 4, 2022 via her own Kallista Records imprint. The video (directed by Ludovic Sauvage) complements the track’s nocturnal longing, with a shadowy, blu-lit dal Forno superimposed over a shot of blooming, pale pink tulips with a starkly contrasting black backdrop; appearing like a nighttime singing apparition, over a precise, driving bass line and atmospheric synths that twinkle, buzz, and ring out.

Carla dal Forno shares: “‘Side By Side’ is about the anticipation of hooking up with someone and the feelings of inevitability, transparency and impatience. It’s all in the lyric, ‘Make your move / I recognise the method you use.’”

She goes on to say: “I’ve been sitting on this track for a few years. The production was really slow at first, leaning towards ‘ballad’ territory but it really seemed to find its groove when I increased the tempo and leaned into the bassline hook.”

Based in the township of Castlemaine, Central Victoria, the Australian artist grapples with ideas of home, disorder and insomnia in the swift pop structures of her DIY/post-punk forebearers such as Young Marble Giants, Virginia Astley and Broadcast. Three years since the launch of her label, Kallista Records, dal Forno finds stability in Castlemaine (pop. 6,750), her third home city in as many albums. After nearly a decade of moving, recording and touring out of Berlin and London.
