    Forster produces some of the most direct and affecting songs of his singular career. ... Forster’s observational directness and simple language are always in service to the deep feeling in his songs and few better imbue the quotidian joys of domestic life and the power of memory with such poetry.

    The songs sound as fresh as morning air through open kitchen windows.

    Perhaps this generous album’s biggest theme is the passage of time, and recognising distances travelled.
