DOMINI FORSTER Shares New Single Magnolia. New Album 'The Lonely Set' For Release June 20

Awash with raw rumination and an expansive cinematic aesthetic, today Naarm-based singer-songwriter Domini Forster unveils a brand new single Magnolia; a lush, melancholic folk dream that also accompanies the announcement of Forster’s sophomore studio album, The Lonely, officially set for release on Friday June 20.

Opening in a dreamlike state before swelling with instrumentals and Forster’s luminous vocals, Magnolia features elegant percussion and a soaring chorus that opens up like a darkly shimmering folk kaleidoscope, reflecting the endlessly fluctuating nature of life. The track nods to English multi-instrumentalist Marika Hackman alongside Forster’s signature style. “Early Marika Hackman circa ‘We Slept At Last’ was an influence for Magnolia,” shares Forster. “I love combining warm, woody acoustic instruments with ethereal synthesised elements and textural sounds. Marika does this beautifully, and that album was definitely on high rotation for a while.”

Joining forces with Lachlan Carrick (Gotye, Lior, Emma Donovan) on producing, recording, mixing and mastering, along with co-producer and multi-instrumentalist Josh Barber (Gretta Ray, Gotye) for both her latest single Magnolia and its broader album, Domini Forster spent days with both Carrick and Barber in Barber’s converted 1860s chapel studio in Victoria’s Goldfields region, transforming a creative retreat into what would ultimately become The Lonely.

The album has already turned heads, with the second single Hard Love earning a place on the Vanda & Young Global Songwriting Competition shortlist and playlisting by Australian taste-maker and music video institution RAGE, and ABC’s David Astle describing Hard Love as “a mesmerising, ethereal piece of music”.

Now poised on the release of her second studio album in 2025, Forster will also perform her new album on stages throughout June to September; including Tasmania, a special hometown show in Melbourne at the iconic Northcote Social Club, before heading to Canberra, and then diving into a short string of shows in NSW, including two with Emily Lubitz.
