Fast emerging as one of Scotland's significant voices and prolific writers, 2016 saw the release of 2 critically acclaimed albums – TeenCanteen's 'SAY IT ALL WITH A KISS' and debut solo album 'HOMEMADE LEMONADE' released under the alias ETTE.

2017 saw Easton working with producer HOWARD BILERMAN to record sophomore album IMPOSSIBLE STUFF (Olive Grove Records 2018) at Hotel2Tango, Canada. She has written for BMX BANDITS, Belle and Sebastian and National Theatre Scotland and has recently joined THE VASELINES for current live dates.

Impossible Stuff

Glasgow-based singer-songwriter Carla J. Easton follows the runaway sell-out and critically acclaimed success of her debut album with lush symphonic arrangements for her second solo offering Impossible Stuff released on Olive Grove Records .Produced by Howard Bilerman (Arcade Fire) at his studio Hotel2Tango in Montreal, IMPOSSIBLE STUFF features 10 tracks of Spectoresque indie-pop perfection fusing analogue synths, anthemic brass and strings with stacked double drums. This album shows a powerful development of songwriting, seductively introspective with outstanding melodies at their core and Carla's trademark vocal. It was recorded with support from Help Musicians UK and Creative Scotland.
