Warm Nights


Warm Nights is the fourth album by Robert Forster. It was released on LP and CD by Beggars Banquet in 1996 and was highlighted with a new version of the Go-Betweens' "Rock 'n' Roll Friend", which was a single B-side in 1988.
Forster later said, "It was about sweaty Brisbane nights, banana trees in the backyard, animals walking around at night, fruitbats flying in the air. I was looking at Brisbane with new eyes in this new suburb, and I was listening to this music that had more space, more rhythm. I wrote all the songs in about eight months, quicker than I had written since the late 70s."
