It’s been a bit since we’ve heard from Carla dal Forno, who released her sophomore album, Look Up Sharp back in 2019. Since then, she’s shuffled along to a new location in Australia — Castlemaine in Central Victoria — and put together another new album, Come Around, which will be out in November. Its lead single and title track is a hazy simmer, hypnotic and echoey and enveloping.

“‘Come Around’ was inspired by a guy I used to play in a band with. I really admired the way he played guitar. He had this laid back strum that was effortless and cool,” dal Forno said in a statement. “I was mucking around at home one day trying to imitate the way he played and I wrote ‘Come Around.’ I wrote the song during a carefree springtime and I loved working on it while recording this album. There’s a lightness and openness to it, which I feel quite liberated by. It reminds me of a life I once had with very few responsibilities.”
