Australian songwriter Domini Forster leads you through the dusk-lit corridors of her intricate song-stories, each scene intimate and lovelorn as tea-stained lace. Her distinctive voice shifts effortlessly from commanding call to whisper-close falsetto, earning her comparisons to the likes of Laura Marling and Joni Mitchell.
Beginning her career as a finalist in Triple J Unearthed High, Forster went on to make a strong impression on the Melbourne music scene in 2013 with her EP Little Dreamer produced by Tony Buchen (Montaigne, Thelma Plum). Her debut album Raven followed in 2017, earning her a 9/10 from Beat Magazine, features in the PBS Top 10 and RRR Soundscape, and the coveted Darebin Songwriter’s Award.
A chance encounter at a songwriting competition with celebrated Australian artist Lior proved to be a pivotal moment for Forster, leading to a string of national support tours. She soon joined Lior’s band as backing vocalist, and the pair discovered a vocal synergy that ultimately led them to embark on a duo collaboration project.
Lior & Domini released their EP Animal In Hiding in 2021, receiving 4.5-star reviews in The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald and extensive national coverage on ABC radio. The 60-show national launch tour included appearances at MONA, Port Fairy Folk Festival and Woodford Folk Festival.
‘If you find yourself thinking no two voices have melded quite as seamlessly since Simon & Garfunkel, you wouldn’t be far off the mark’ - Jessie Cunniffe, The SMH
Forster’s second album The Lonely (produced by Lachlan Carrick and co-produced by Josh Barber) is slated for release in 2025.
