Now, based in the township of Castlemaine, Central Victoria, the Australian artist returns self-assured and firmly settled within the dense eucalypt bushlands. Dal Forno grapples with ideas of home, disorder and insomnia in the swift pop structures of her DIY\/post-punk forebearers such as \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eYoung Marble Giants\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVirginia Astley\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e, and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBroadcast\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e. Three years since the launch of her label, Kallista Records, dal Forno finds stability in Castlemaine (pop. 6,750), her third home city in as many albums. After nearly a decade of moving, recording and touring out of Berlin and London, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCome Around\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e embodies a newfound solitude born of\/in elemental pop hooks and enlightened songwriting. The title track, \"Come Around,\" offers the best example of this confident, fresh candor. It's an elegant invite into dal Forno's sharp new focus beckoning old friends, relationships and audiences into her resettled home. This meandering pop hit strikes between the melodic simplicity of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAnna Domino\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eYMG\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e and the arrangement hooks of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Cannanes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMovietone\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e, capturing dal Forno at her most welcoming with arms wide open. Other tracks like \"Mind You're On\" recalls the bass driven heft of dal Forno's previous work but where past albums projected the pastoral idyll from the urban jungles of Berlin and London, the lyricism and production on Come Around embody her current lived experience in the Australian regions where space, strong bonds and solitude are in high supply. Returning to rekindle relationships with people and places and joining in trysts amidst the foreboding badlands cuts through the whole record, as on \"The Garden of Earthly Delights,\" a cover of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe United States of America\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e's 1968 track. There is joy if you look for it but, as dal Forno warns on \"Caution\": \"I sell caution word of you.\" Mistrust and doubt are not completely vanquished. Having embarked on such a radical physical and creative journey since the last record, dal Forno lays bare the passing of time and the oscillating waves of energy and ennui that go with it. This is plain to see on \"Stay Awake\" and instrumentals like \"Deep Sleep\" and \"Autumn,\" which gives rise to anxiety and insomnia in her new sunburnt home. Yet \"Slumber\" offers a glimmer of respite sitting within the chaotic circus of production that channels \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKendra Smith\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGeneral Strike\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e, and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Flying Lizards\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e.
