Carla dal Forno 'Look Up Sharp'
The London-based artist enters a new era, pushing her dub-damaged DIY dispatches to the limits of flawless dream-pop. In a shift toward crystal-clear vocals and sharpened production, 'Look Up Sharp' marks an evolution from the thick fog of her Blackest Ever Black releases, 'You Know What It’s Like' (2016) and 'The Garden' EP (2017). Now immersed in London’s sprawling chaos, Carla dal Forno channels its shifting identities and blank faces into a story of life in flux, longing, and adaptation.
Between plaintive pop, folk, and post-punk, Carla dal Forno conjures the ghosts of AC Marias, Virginia Astley, and Broadcast through art-damaged effects and spectral atmospheres. Conceived as a whole, 'Look Up Sharp' bends light, sound, and concept into a singular prism. Deeply personal yet universally relatable, its complex but authentic surfaces make it a diamond—hard-edged yet delicate. Look up sharp, or you’ll miss it.
