Brand new solo album from Go Betweens founder. 'Songs to Play' is Robert's first album is 7 years and is really nothing like he's ever done before, although it retains many of the qualities we know from his songwriting: highly melodic, with incisive, witty lyrics attuned to real people and real lives. The surprise is the spirit of the record, its sense of adventure and fun - especially after the meditative reflections of 'The Evangelist' (recorded a year after the death of The Go-Betweens co-founder Grant McLennan). Seven years has brought a bolder, wilder approach to sound ... and a set of truly inspiring compositions. Pop songs. Five minute epics. A bossa nova tune. Singer-songwriter classics. Add the more experimental and detailed production assistance of Bromley and McDonald and no wonder - from the album's opening lines on the super-charged 'Learn To Burn' - Forster is bursting to get out and tell his story. Time's a sequence and you wait for changes. Problem is you know I've got no patience. I've got no desire to be the fourth person in line. Seven years in the making. And worth every minute.LP - With CD Version.
