Domini Forster leads you through the dusk-lit corridors of her intricate song stories, each

scene as intimate and lovelorn as tea-stained lace. Her distinctive voice shifts effortlessly

from commanding call to lilting, whisper-close falsetto, earning her comparisons to the likes

of Laura Marling and Joni Mitchell.

A Naarm/Melbourne based artist and past recipient of the Darebin Songwriters award,

Domini is a well-respected songwriter in the Australian scene. Her album Raven received a

9/10 from Beat Magazine and features in the PBS Top 10 and the RRR Soundscape.

‘Raven is one of the most impressive local releases in the last twelve months...a compelling and

intricate album with a dark narrative arc’ - The Northsider

Domini is currently touring nationally in support of her recent release Animal In Hiding, a

collaboration with multi ARIA Award winning artist Lior, which received 4.5 star reviews in

both The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald. Catch them at Port Fairy Folk Festival and The

National Folk Festival amongst many others.
