Confession is the fourth album from post-punk folk artist Carla dal Forno. Written and recorded over several years in a small country town, in a studio housed inside a partially abandoned hospital, Confession is an album about closeness that arrives late and unexpectedly. It's about stability rubbing up against desire. It's about the way friendship can suddenly tilt into something charged — and how that charge unsettles everything around it. Where earlier work often observed from a distance, Confession turns inward.
