Carla dal Forno launches her own label, Kallista Records, with her first original single in over a year, So Much Better. The widespread success of her debut album You Know What It's Like (BLACKEST 015CD/LP, 2016) and The Garden EP (BLACKEST 068EP, 2017) has seen dal Forno spearhead the latter years of the Blackest Ever Black vanguard. Now the London-based Australian artist turns her attention to releasing original work on her own label, Kallista Records. This two-track 7-inch record begins a bold year for dal Forno, who takes her lone kosmische misanthropy onto fertile new ground. The A-side single, "So Much Better", sees dal Forno step out from the shadows of emotional ambiguity into the vulnerable territory of anecdotal song-writing. Lyrics that echo the irrational passions of love scorned, in truth reveal a self-assured artist confessing to resentment which propels her. Here is dal Forno chiding herself in the mirror while excoriating an old infatuate with a vocal timbre that sits among the giants: the lilting power of Alison Statton, the mystic shamanism of Una Baines, and the post-punk cabaret of Vivien Goldman. The sparse production on both sides springs from the soft-pedalled cassette of covers, Top of the Pops, which dal Forno self-released last year (CARLA 001CS, 2018). Though the raw, dubbed-out vision takes a back seat on "So Much Better", overshadowed by dal Forno's fork-tongued lyrics, it is heightened on "Fever Walk" with acoustic drum racks ricocheting off fizzing drones, pastoral synth textures and meandering melody in the way of Broadcast, Flying Lizards, and Portishead. But the illusion of wide-open spaces belies an oppressive, hysteria-inducing humidity swelling from the studio vision of her past instrumentals like "Dragon's Breath" and "Italian Cinema". And with a nod to her old band, F ingers, dal Forno's voice-as-instrument hacks like a machete through her endless jungle of anxiety. This two track 7-inch, the object of a new existence, reflects dal Forno's life in London working at Low Company record store and her monthly radio show on NTS. All in with the history and tradition of British post-punk and independent music, she strides boldly into the abyss. So much better is yet to come

A Catastrophic Failure in Diaper Form
Size: Size 2 (184 Count)
I’m not sure if I just got a bad batch or if these diapers are always this horrendous, but I will not spend another dime to find out—and I strongly urge you to do the same. I loved this brand’s Gentle version. They were everything you want in a diaper: super absorbent, well-fitted, no blowouts. I was their biggest fan. So, when the Gentles weren’t available, I thought, Surely the Plush will be just as good, maybe even better!
I have never been more wrong.
Let’s start with the tabs. These things are folded up like some kind of sick joke, requiring you to unfold them in three separate, precise movements. Miss a step? The tab rips off in your hand, leaving you holding a now-worthless scrap of disappointment. This happened to me. It happened to my mother. It will happen to you.
But wait, there’s more! The side wings are a disaster. The right wing is disproportionately longer than the left, which means everything in this diaper is permanently listing to the right like a sinking ship. The left side? Practically non-existent. As a result, I have experienced more blowouts with these diapers than in my daughter’s entire life combined. I don’t know what sorcery was used to engineer a diaper that actively funnels poop toward the worst possible escape route, but here we are.
And because I was foolishly optimistic, I bought a month’s supply. So now I'm locked in a psychological battle with my own stubbornness. I could throw them out, but that would be admitting defeat. So instead, I soldier on, knowing each diaper change is another step into madness.
Please, learn from my mistake. You don’t have to live like this. Let me be your tribute, the sacrificial parent who suffered so you don’t have to. We’re already running on fumes as newborn parents—don’t make it worse by willingly subjecting yourself to these truly useless diapers that will rob you of your last remaining shreds of sanity.
Save yourself. Run.

DON'T SLEEP ON THESE DIAPERS! (but your baby should)
Size: Size 3 (40 Count)
I was skeptical at first trying out the plush version of this diaper because I thought the mama bear gentle touch was just OK and you can find a better diaper for the same price point. I saw these on prime day for the same price as the gentle touch and said why not. I was very, very impressed. They are soft and flexible with a satin-like exterior; similar to the feel of a hello bello diaper. The plush version definitely feels more quality than the papery gentle touch ones. I first tested the absorbency using 12 oz of water, waited ten minutes and dabbed dabbed dabbed. Seriously NO moisture! In comparison to the gentle touch diaper that had obvious moisture after the same test. I put them to use on my baby, who just for reference is 19lbs, for an overnight and the diaper did not leak and was only damp in the morning, not wet! Amazing. She is a moderate wetter but I still think that performance is great because in comparison to gentle touch, the diaper was wet on the inside after only three hours and I had to consistently use diaper cream so rash wouldn't develop; I would have never used the gentle touch as an overnight diaper. Seriously, for .21 a diaper for size three these diapers are a steal. DONT SLEEP ON THIS DEAL, PICK UP SOME MAMA BEAR PLUSH DIAPERS!

Not the Same 🤍
Size: Size 2 (184 Count)
I loved the Mama Bear size 1 diapers, so I expected the “plush” size 2s to be the same. Unfortunately, they feel completely different. These seem thinner and not quite as absorbent as the size 1 regular pack.
The design is also really busy, which makes the wetness indicator harder to see at a quick glance. With babies, that little line matters more than you’d think.
I’ll still finish the pack, but I’m not sure I’d repurchase this “plush” version. If you’re choosing between them, I’d recommend sticking with the regular pack instead. In comparison, Huggies still perform better than these for us. 🤍✨
They don’t hold blowouts at all but they do fit well. They’re also not stretchy. I noticed the print on my baby’s legs.

Great cost efficient option
Size: Size 4 (36 Count)
I switched over from Millie Moon and really like these. They’re affordable, don’t have harmful additives, and are soft and gentle on my babies. Holds a significant amount and doesn’t leak even on overnight wears. I like the simple non character design as well.

Every other diaper leaked
Size: Size 7 (92 Count)
I bought these diapers because they were the cheapest available to buy with a gift card my family was given. Normally I use the bulk store brands. The diapers were very hit and miss. It varies from diaper to diaper even in a pack. My son does urinate heavily but even before he would get anywhere near a “full” diaper it would leak! Leading to wet pants and messes. We’ve never had this problem with other diaper brands. Even our cloth diapers hold better than half of these did. For note he falls below the max size for these diapers by at least 5 lbs. I don’t plan on repurchasing these because of the leaking issue. Beyond that they were easy to use like any other diaper, didn’t cause diaper rash, held together, but was subpar in absorption.
