CARLA GENEVE

SHE IS

a young whippersnapper with talent aplenty, 20 years old and native to the sunny isle of

Perth. And she’s already causing quite the stir; the singer-songwriter has developed a glowing reputation for her relatable and clever songs, already taking to the road in coveted support slots with her idols Abbe May and Jen Cloher. The opportunities for an acquaintance with Genve on an international scale will occur when she performs at SXSW in Austin, Texas next March.

SHE SOUNDS LIKE

indie leanings with a blues-rock hue gracing her rich vocals and sombre guitar work. The notes she produces with her voice dance on your ears, and her guitar carries a spirit all its own – largely in part to the natural demonstration of the acoustic.

YOU’LL DIG HER IF YOU LIKE

Abbe May, Dean Lewis,

Jake Bugg and Neil Young. If you’re into emotive and powerful commentaries on all aspects of life, this is the sound for you. Indie and folk-rock have a new face, and it’s that of Carla Geneve.

YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT

her recently released self-titled

EP. In particular, tracks “Things Change” and “Yesterday’s Clothes” offer an unparalleled view of Geneve’s personality as a performer and person, and serve as the best way to enjoy her well-developed technique as a guitarist.
