ALBUM

House of Mirrors (2004)

His second album after his 2000s return, released through MGM Distribution, it collects ten original songs that move between hope and cynicism, with Cardier playing all the instruments himself. The title track and cuts like 'Asylum Blues' show his habit of turning everyday frustrations into wry, pointed narratives.

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.
