Song Of The Day (Yesterday’s Clothes) – KUTX“The raw physicality of Geneve’s performance burns through here… Geneve has stamped her authority over this one just as she does the stage.” – The Music
“[This] release is a benchmark for the promise and development that is emerging from an incredibly talented and already acclaimed young artist.” – X-Press
“It’s pretty clear to see why Geneve is considered one of Australia’s most exciting up and coming talents.” – The AU Review
“[Yesterday’s Clothes] exemplifies Geneve’s ability to create moments as intimate as they are open-to-interpretation, with deep lyricism and relatable songwriting making it feel like you can find a home in Geneve’s music; perhaps a reason why she’s become such a star over the last two years or so.” – Pilerats
“I’m routinely in awe of the creative energy that’s thriving out west, and Geneve is undoubtedly the epitome of this right now.”– Happy
Perth artist Carla Geneve has today released her debut self-titled EP via Dot Dash / Remote Control Records.
To celebrate the release, Carla has shared an intimate and emotional video for ‘Yesterday’s Clothes’. Directed by Matt Sav, Carla says of the video – “I wanted the video to reflect the personal nature of the song. To me, sitting alone in front of a camera is a vulnerable situation, a lot like releasing a song to the world which describes private parts of my life. I also think that the simplicity of the video serves the live sound of the track”.
Carla explains the meaning behind the song – “Yesterday’s Clothes is about falling out of love with someone and feeling guilty about it. I wrote it at a time when I was burning the candle at both ends and had no energy left to try to deal with the end of a relationship. Most of the words came when I was doing a long drive back from some gig or another in regional WA. I’d been up all night and had to be somewhere the next day, so I hadn’t had a shower or changed clothes. When you’re on your own driving for hours and hours it’s hard to avoid thinking about stuff that you don’t want to, so I guess I wrote the song to try to come to terms with my thoughts and situation.”
‘Yesterday’s Clothes’ follows single ‘2001’, which debuted at #1 on the AMRAP charts, attained a triple j spot add and saw tastemaker Matt Wilkinson of Beats 1 come out as an early fan, praising her“incredibly powerful voice” on his radio show.
Carla Geneve will embark on her first North American tour next week in support of San Cisco, playing shows in Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Toronto, Washington DC, Philadelphia, Boston, and New York City. She will also headline Berlin, Manhattan on Monday 24th June. Full dates can be found below.
