Songs to play

"Recorded in an all-analogue studio situated on a mountain top near Forster's Brisbane home, the album is playful, eclectic and life-affirming compared with the meditative The Evangelist. Forster is back to his witty, erudite best on the infectious opener Learn To Burn and the noir-tinged, Bonnie & Clyde-esque storyboard of Songwriters On The Run; but while the LP's second side stumbles to a conclusion with the indecisive Disaster In Motion, it also contains the seductive bossa nova of Love Is Where It Is and the gloriously cocksure I Love Myself (And I Always Have)".

"The Brisbane rocker's first album in seven years has none of the poppier sounds of the Go-Betweens, instead songs that grow in appeal with every play".
