About this album

Danger In The Past is a strong solo debut from Robert Forster, extending the sharp songcraft and dry intelligence he brought to The Go-Betweens. Released in 1990, the album presents his writing in a more direct, intimate setting, where literary detail and melodic clarity sit alongside indie rock restraint. Its strengths lie in the conversational phrasing, wry emotional tension and the way Forster turns private scenes into memorable, characterful songs. For listeners drawn to thoughtful guitar pop with a distinctly Australian sensibility, it stands as an assured early statement in his solo catalogue.
