Australian singer/multi-instrumentalist Carla dal Forno writes haunting, downcast tunes influenced by post-punk, dub, and ambient pop. First releasing music as part of groups like Mole House and F ingers, she made her solo debut in 2016 with the acclaimed full-length You Know What It's Like. More refined efforts Look Up Sharp (2019) and Come Around (2022) each followed dal Forno's relocation to different international cities. Dal Forno co-founded Melbourne-based lo-fi trio Mole House, who released a handful of singles and cassettes between 2011 and 2013. She then formed abstract post-punk group Fingers Pty Ltd with Sam Karmel and Tarquin Manek, and the trio issued a cassette called Broken Fingers on Night People in 2013. Dal Forno and Manek also recorded more experimental material as Tarcar; Blackest Ever Black released the duo's Mince Glace EP at the end of 2014. The label also issued Hide Before Dinner, an excellent 2015 full-length by the trio, who had altered their name to F ingers. A self-released F ingers cassette titled Trilogy: They Got the Best Heart also appeared that year. By 2016, dal Forno had relocated to Berlin, and BEB released her debut solo single, "Fast Moving Cars." The full-length You Know What It's Like arrived later in the year. The four-track EP The Garden followed in 2017. Top of the Pops, a cassette EP containing covers of songs by the B-52s, Lana Del Rey, and LiLiPUT, was self-released the following year, during dal Forno's first extensive North American tour. Second full-length Look Up Sharp was issued through dal Forno's own Kallista Records in 2019. She moved from her then-home of London to the much smaller Castlemaine in Victoria, Australia. Come Around, her third solo album, appeared in 2022, and included a cover of "The Garden of Earthly Delights" by the United States of America. ~ Paul Simpson, Rovi
