Deadweight Paul Forster

‘Inferno’ is acclaimed Australian singer-songwriter Robert Forster’s first solo album in four years - his second album over the last eleven years. Forster only makes records when he feels he has the songs - on ‘Inferno’, he has nine he totally believes in.

Acclaimed Australian singer-songwriter Robert Forster announces his 8th solo album "The Candle And The Flame" in 2023.

For more than four decades, Robert Forster's strengths have remained consistent, even as his style has subtly evolved. Vocal melodies always form the center of his songs, which often start with a simple, near-spoken line and organically resolve. The initial sparseness accents rhythm over melody and hints at Forster's emergence as a songwriter during the punk era. Forster's talent as a vocalist similarly aligns. While he often relies on an understated deadpan, he's able to express a full spectrum of feelings. Opener "Tell it Back to Me" is a sincere story where "we kissed on a bench." After a neutral beginning, Forster's delivery in "Such a Shame" gradually expresses the gruff disappointment of its title. "All of the Time" moves from its stolid opening line, "there's propaganda, and there's truth," to a furtive whisper in the third verse, to vulnerable and sweet wordless singing in the coda. "Foolish I Know" returns his jaded bluntness to the foreground, with lines like, "he's handsome and he's unattached."
