Bio
Named as one of the top ten releases of 2009 by The Age, Hidden Hands the second album from Jen Cloher & The Endess Sea has continued to cement Cloher’s reputation as one of Australia’s premiere songwriters.
Following on from her ARIA nominated debut album Dead Wood Falls (2006) Hidden Hands was nominated for three Age EG Awards including best song and best album.
Jen Cloher & The Endless Sea have fast become a festival favourite appearing at Woodford, East Coast Blues, Homebake, Queenscliff & The Falls and have toured in support of Neko Case (Canada), Laura Veirs (USA) and Jose Gonzales (Sweden).
'Hidden Hands may be the best local record of its kind I've heard this year, full of touching emotional insights and rugged observation. The band are magnificent, subtle and in tune with Cloher's depth of feeling. At times, it sounds like Dirty Three gone country, at others it's Stones-y rock 'n' roll with Cloher carrying on like Lucinda Williams; elsewhere, its just lovely pianos and weeping bluegrass strings.'
Chris Johnston, The Age.
