Music

Lior and Domini

A songwriting partnership that took shape during the Victorian lockdowns, and whose shared history with Mildura began on a tour stage.

A connection through touring

Lior, the Australian singer-songwriter, has been a recurring visitor to Mildura. The Mildura Rural City Council announced a concert at Mildura Arts Centre in support of his fifth studio album, Between You + Me, with the Melbourne folk singer Domini Forster opening the show.

Animal in Hiding

The two went on to write together. The Australian Jewish News reported that they had started working on songs in late 2019 and finished writing over Zoom when the pandemic closed in. Recording took place in one of the short windows when Victoria was not under stay-at-home orders, and both artists credited their producer, Lachlan Carrick, for the finished record.

The resulting album, Animal in Hiding, was described as a set of intimate stories about emerging from hibernation and about human connection. The subject suits the circumstances of its making.

Return to Mildura

In October 2022 Sunraysia Daily previewed the pair bringing the collaboration to a live audience in Mildura, with Lior saying he had always enjoyed performing in the area. That visit is recorded here as a past event, and this guide has no information about any future performance.
