Robert Forster is an Australian singer-songwriter, born on 29 June 1957 in Brisbane, Australia. He is best known as a founder member of the iconic band The Go-Betweens in 1978. With his distinctive voice and poetic lyrics, Forster has made a significant impact on the music industry. Currently married to Karin Bäumler, he is also a proud father.
With his deep connection to the Australian music scene, Robert Forster has established himself as a respected figure in the industry. His contributions to The Go-Betweens have left an indelible mark on alternative rock and indie pop genres.
As a solo artist, Forster continues to captivate audiences with his heartfelt songwriting and soulful performances. His work reflects his passion for storytelling and evokes a sense of nostalgia that resonates with listeners around the world.

2020 sees the thirtieth anniversary of the album that launched the solo career of sometime Go-Betweens frontman Robert Forster. To mark this milestone, Needle Mythology reissue expanded versions of both Danger In The Past and its 1992 successor Calling From A Country Phone.

Originally released in 1993 on Beggars Banquet records, Calling From A Country Phone has been remastered at Abbey Road, repackaged and reissued by Needle Mythology with brand new artwork featuring previously unseen photographs. The album also features brand new liner notes written by Robert Forster.

Calling From A Country Phone saw Robert return to Brisbane, working in the same studio where some of the earliest Go-Betweens recordings took place. In the words of music writer and author Andrew Mueller, the album comes as “a twinkling rebuke to any prejudice that wintry elegies to ebbing hope and deadpan surf-rock need be mutually exclusive propositions.”
