When Carla dal Forno debuted in 2016 with a monochromatic portrait for an album cover and a sound that split the difference between severe post-punk and spectral dream pop, it was a total statement of greyscale gloom. Over time, the Australian artist’s work has taken on more color, folding in hypnotic trip-hop and sun-blanched folk while still preserving a chilly, atmospheric edge. Her recently released third record, Come Around, features some of the most inviting and immediate tracks of her career: Standout “Mind You’re On” immediately snaps into action, as an ominous synth recorder gives way to a muscular bass line, and echoing hand-claps illuminate the pockets of the song’s groove like flashes of lightning in a dark forest. What dal Forno’s dusky, affectless voice lacks in range she makes up for in mystery, her delivery somewhere between a whisper and a warning. Lyrically, the song concerns a fraught but opaque moment of decision—“I'll pack my bags again/Using every disguise/That's when I start/Owning up to the worst“—which the music dramatizes, situating the artist’s resolve as the glowing center of an encroaching darkness.
