Domini Forster takes to the stage with a full band for this one-off hometown launch of her second album The Lonely (out 20 Jun).
Forster leads you through the dusk-lit corridors of her intricate song-stories, each scene intimate and lovelorn as tea-stained lace. Her distinctive voice shifts effortlessly from commanding call to whisper-close falsetto, earning her comparisons to the likes of Laura Marling and Joni Mitchell.
The Naarm-based songwriter recently came to national attention for her acclaimed duo collaboration with ARIA Award-winning artist Lior. Forster’s new album has already turned heads, with the second single Hard Love earning a place on the Vanda & Young Global Songwriting Competition shortlist and playlisting by Australian taste-maker and music video institution RAGE. ABC’s David Astle described it as 'a mesmerising, ethereal piece of music'.
An anthology of songs about connection and disconnection, The Lonely draws on Forster’s experiences working at the intersection between music and mental health, and her own struggles with anxiety. While exploring, observing and unravelling the many shades and patterns of disconnection in our world, this powerful collection of songs ultimately reminds us that we are not alone.
Produced by Lachlan Carrick (Gotye, Lior) and co-produced by Josh Barber (Gretta Ray, Gotye), the album is a lush, cinematic chamber-folk work. Don’t miss this chance to see it performed live with full instrumentation.
‘Forster has a full, achingly sweet folk voice that makes it no stretch of the imagination to call her Australia’s Laura Marling’ – Jessie Cunniffe, The Sydney Morning Herald
‘[Forster’s recent single] Unravelling is a gorgeous piece of work which runs the gamut between the introspective and the cinematic… It’s as immersive as it is powerful, and sets Forster apart as a voice you need to be paying attention to’ – The Music
