Geneve, Carla

Perth artist Carla Geneve announces the international release of her debut self-titled record. With a captivating live show and relatable lyricism, Geneve hails from the small coastal town of Albany, some 400 kilometers south of Western Australia’s capital city of Perth. She cut her teeth playing solo shows in and around regional centers as a 16-year old, bursting onto the WA scene in 2017. After being hailed by Pilerats as one of their “18 Artists to Watch in 2018”, her debut single “Greg’s Discount Chemist” was released to overwhelming support. The single was the #1 most played track in 2018 for the Perth community radio station. Key support slots followed for the likes of Gareth Liddiard (The Drones / Tropical Fuck Storm), Cat Power and Kurt Vile. After releasing her second single “Listening” and garnering praise for her showcases at BIGSOUND, the end of 2018 saw her lead with seven nominations at the 2018 WAM Awards where she won Best Single and Best Rock Act. In 2019 Geneve bettered this, winning four WAM Awards, including Best Rock Act, Best Single, Best Guitarist and Best EP. 
Geneve’s eponymous record was recorded at RADA Studios. Born of smoldering passion and framed by lacerations of heartbreak, the record places her direct and compelling lyricism front and center without sacrificing the dynamism so central to her live performances.
