I've been enjoying this a lot. I interviewed him a few weeks ago, article should go up next week hopefully.

And we didn't even touch on "Let Me Imagine You," my absolute favorite on the album.

Good stuff, Geoffrey!

That was a great read. Robert seems like such a cool guy. Good work Geoffrey.

haw. i need to dig into this album a bit more, but it seems extremely solid on my first couple listens. gotta say, i'm still so go-betweens-centric that i subconsciously expect mclennan to pop up after two Forster songs in a row :(

^ Gee, sounds exactly like one might expect such a project to sound!
I was only dimly aware there had been a new RF album before this was bumped. Weird. Sounds good after 1.5 listens. Some of his solo records have tended to sound like undifferentiated streams of chords and words at first, only coalescing into actual songs with more exposure. But there are sufficient hooks and memorable flourishes in the arrangements for me to confidently say I quite like this one already.

Great news, thanks!

So glad he's coming back so soon. The album cover suggests this will be a classic.
