A welcome first-ever vinyl release of Robert Forster’s heartfelt 2008 album, made in the aftermath of the sad death of his long-time Go-Betweens compadre, Grant McLennan.
It’s hard to listen to this album without thinking of Grant, especially considering that he’d written the lyrics and rough melodies for three of the songs contained herein before his untimely demise (Demon Days, Let Your Light In, Babe and It Ain’t Easy). And one can’t help but wonder how these songs would have ended up if he’d been able to complete them, his songs often tending to be ‘poppier’ and more accessible than Robert’s own. However, the big fella has a good go at the task in hand and (under what must have been difficult circumstances to say the least) he produces finished compositions that his old buddy would have been proud of.
Although there is an understandable touch of sadness and melancholy to The Evangelist (particularly in the opening songs) ‘that striped, sunlight sound’ is never far away and there are echoes of the Go-Betweens wonderful legacy throughout.
This re-mastered vinyl pressing sounds clear and vibrant, as all records should, so kudos to those responsible.
