Carla Dal Forno has announced her fourth album, Confession, set for release on April 24 on her own label Kallista Records. The Australian singer, songwriter and multi instrumentalist – and NTS radio host – describes it as “an album of quiet upheaval”. At its core, the 12 track record record reflects on closeness that arrives late and unexpectedly, on stability brushing up against desire, and on the moment when friendship can suddenly tilt into something unsettling . “At the heart of the album is a friendship that became emotionally charged in an unexpected way,” dal Forno stated. “That shift brought daydreaming, jealousy, tenderness, confusion, self-awareness — and eventually acceptance.” Before adding: “This wasn’t the album I intended to make. 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.”
Known for her atmospheric and emotionally ambiguous songwriting, Carla Dal Forno builds her songs from sparse synth textures, pulsing drum machines, stripped back guitar lines and deep bass undertows, with her cool, distant voice floating above it all. Confession follows her 2022 album Come Around, and comes after the 2025 release of “Veselka City Lights” on A Colourful Storm’s compilation Going Back to Sleep… Alongside the announcement, she has also shared the first single, “Going Out”, with a video directed by Hanna Chetwin.
