This is Carla dal Forno's debut solo-album, following her time in cult Melbourne group Mole House. Her voice, an extraordinary instrument, sounds both disarmingly conversational and glacially detached. It has something of the bedsit urbanity of Anna Domino, Marine Girls, Antena, or Helen Johnstone - stoned and deadpan -, but it can also summon a gothic intensity that Nico or Kendra Smith would approve of.
