I Think That I Might Love You
Throughout the process of making her acclaimed documentary Since Yesterday: The Untold Story of Scotland's Girl Bands, women kept telling Carla J Easton how they bought a guitar, learnt three chords, and dived headfirst into making music. Having built her career around playing keys – through four solo albums, her band’s Teen Canteen and Poster Paints, and currently as part of The Vaselines live setup – she couldn’t shake this idea of following where so many of her heroes had led.
That seed of an idea soon became the basis for I Think That I Might Love You, Carla’s fifth solo album – still a pop album at heart, but also her first ‘guitar’ record. Produced by Howard Bilerman (Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Wolf Parade, Leonard Cohen, The Weather Station) the album finds Carla gathering up friends old and new to craft a record that feels like a natural but also significant leap forward.
The new album was inspired not only by her time making the Since Yesterday film, but also by her work within Hen Hoose, the Scottish songwriting collective that unites a diverse array of female and non-binary artists, writers and producers to create new work collaboratively. As such, I Think That I Might Love You includes a number of co-writes across its eleven new songs, including Simon Liddell (Frightened Rabbit, Poster Paints), Hen Hoose’s MALKA (Hen Hoose), Glasgow’s Man of the Minch, Canadian singer songwriter Brett Nelson, and cult hero Darren Hayman of Hefner.
