商品の紹介
| 80'Sネオアコの雄、THE GO-BETWEENSでその才能を発揮した中心人物ROBERT FORSTERが、2019年の『INFERNO』に続く4年ぶりとなる8THソロ・アルバム『THE CANDLE AND THE FLAME』をリリース! 妻であるKARIN BAUMLER、そして最近までローファイ・インディー・ポップバンドTHE GOON SAXのメンバーだった息子のLOUIS FORSTERと共にレコーディングと共同プロデュースを行った作品。昨年初めにBAUMLERが癌と診断された際に思いついたというリード・シングル"SHE'S A FIGHTER"のミュージック・ヴィデオではフォースター一家が輪になって演奏する姿が印象的です |

| The songs that became Robert Forsters eighth solo album The Candle and the Flame were mostly already written when his wife and musical partner Karin Baumler was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in July of 2021. The former Go-Betweens members songs often held a certain brooding character, and even before this life-shaking illness became part of Forster and Baumlers days, the songs that had accrued for The Candle and the Flame were already heavy and reflective, looking at how things change as the stages of life pass. It wouldnt be outrageous to think that songs like "Tender Years," with its aching playback of big life events as a family grew, or "Its Only Poison" with references to doctors and medication were informed by the experience of fighting the disease, but they were written before Baumlers diagnosis. Baumlers health struggles instead appear in form of the albums loose, spontaneous production, as she was only physically able to record in fits and starts over the six month period in which the record was tracked. All these specific factors-- Forsters predisposition for melancholic self-reflection, the intensity of a family going through cancer, and the organic, mellow sound captures necessitated by unsteady health -- all combine into a bittersweet beauty on The Candle and the Flame. The spare instrumentation and soft sadness of "The Roads" ranks up there with some of Forsters best loved Go-Betweens material, and "Theres A Reason" recounts life-affirming memories sparked by finding a ticket stub to a long-forgotten amazing gig from years ago in a jacket pocket. Forsters straightforward songs find him looking back thoughtfully over various points in his life from an older, wiser, and perhaps more forgiving perspective. Tunes like "Go Free," "I Dont Do Drugs, I Do Time," and especially the gorgeous closer "When I Was A Young Man" all carry the same warm, reflective quality, remembering how big the world felt at 21, how quickly middle age seemed to arrive, and how much was learned along the way. Being recorded under the looming shadow of sickness gives the songs on The Candle and the Flame an added immediacy, which only heightens the power of their sentiments. The songs 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. ~ Fred Thomas |
