ALBUM

Exiles From Eden (2008)

A 14-track set that reviewers considered among the strongest work of his post-comeback period, mixing upbeat songs with quieter, more reflective pieces. It continues in the same self-produced vein as his earlier 2000s albums, House of Mirrors and Rattle the Cage.

Glenn Cardier

Glenn Cardier is a Sydney-based Australian singer-songwriter who started performing in the early 1970s, working through styles that ranged from surf and acid rock to folk pop. He spent more than two decades away from recording before returning in the early 2000s, writing, performing, and producing his own material. His songs tend toward dark humour, sharp observation, and a quiet emotional directness.
