Robert Forster - Strawberries (Vinyl)
$90.00
Regular price $72.00Picture one of our greatest living singer-songwriters in a kitchen. He is on holidays, he's just had a swim. His wife is out on the beach, and he finds himself faced with a bowl of irresistible strawberries. They're meant to be shared, of course, but their taste is “out of the ordinary”, so he just can't help himself. Minutes later all of the delicious fruit are gone, but there's the germ of a song as the phrase “Someone ate all the strawberries” has just popped into Robert Forster's mind, sounding “so weird, but normal”. Thankfully, he has taken his guitar with him.
Welcome to the starting point for Robert Forster’s 9th solo recording – a beautiful odyssey recorded over four weeks at Ingrid Studios, Stockholm over September and October 2024 with Peter Moren (of Peter Bjorn and John) at the production helm.
In Robert’s words: "I walked in and out with an album, none of it possible without the extraordinary support and musical magic I got from everyone involved. When you do something like this - the four week album recorded from scratch, having flown from one side of the world to the other, trust and talent is what you need and what I got. I was lucky. I received the gift. Now you know the story. I hope you hear it in the grooves."
Available on vinyl & CD
Tracklist:
1. Tell It Back To Me
2. Good To Cry
3. Breakfast On The Train
4. Strawberries
5. All Of The Time
6. Such A Shame
7. Foolish I Know

PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.
OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
SHIPPING
Flying Nun offers free shipping in Aotearoa New Zealand on orders over $80. We have record stores in both Auckland and Wellington and will ship your record from whichever store is nearest. We aim to pack send your order next business day. Pick ups are also available from both stores.
