ALBUM

Stranger Than Fiction (2012)

Recorded at Alberts Studios in Sydney, this album leans into what reviewers described as a jukebox feel, with twangy guitars, piano, and organ textures running through the songs. Cardier wrote and produced it himself, with a small number of guest musicians filling out the arrangements.

Artist

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.
