2001 by Carla Geneve
"2001 is about escapism through old movies and books that I loved as a kid. Those paired with songwriting serve as the best form of catharsis for me."
Taking its name from Stanley Kubrick's film 2001: A Space Odyssey, the track '2001' also references science fiction writer Jack Vance and John Carpenter's film The Thing (1982).

After releasing her second single 'Listening' and garnering praise for her showcases at BIGSOUND, the end of 2018 saw Geneve lead with seven nominations at the 2018 WAM Awards where she won Best Single for 'Greg's Discount Chemist' and Best Rock Act.
