A new Robert Forster album, Strawberries, is to be released on 23rd May. More information here.
The eponymous lead track is available on YouTube. The song is said to be a red herring in the context of the album; one that deals almost exclusively in observational character studies or, as Forster puts it, “story songs”.

The video made me extremely happy - after everything they've been through, now in their golden years and looking truly happy together, we should all be so lucky.

the album is out and decent! musically and lyrically more interesting to me than the last few, new band and story songs seem to free him up."breakfast on the train" reminded me of parts of "danger in the past", happily

been really enjoying this one, second half especially great. enough familiar pleasures throughout that the wilder lyrical volleys and cool digressions hit pretty hard.

His voice sounds aged for the first time -- chalky.
