Robert Forster – The Candle And The Flame (Vinyl)
Ex Go-Between Robert Forster all too humbly paints himself as a modest talent next to his late foil’s melodic genius, yet this eighth solo outing is packed as ever with minimal, carefully chiselled, acoustic-thrumming arrangements, topped by extraordinary lyric writing.
Forster produces some of the most direct and affecting songs of his singular career with his observational directness and simple language always in service to the deep feeling in his songs which are are honest, deep, and direct, but never heavy-handed.
Mostly, The Candle and the Flame finds Forster taking stock of his long and storied life, and grasping at some of the many moments of love and beauty he experienced along the way.
Tracklist:
She's A Fighter
Tender Years
It's Only Poison
The Roads
I Don't Do Drugs I Do Time

There's A Reason To Live

When I Was A Young Man

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.
