When the Sydney Morning Herald labels your album "the most impressive debut of the year" you're on a winner. Add to that a swag of spots in various music critics 'best LPs of 2006' lists, plus an ARIA nod for Female Album of the Year, and you could say you’re well on your way.
Since the release of their EP Permanent Marker in April 2005 Jen Cloher & The Endless Sea have toured nationally many times, sharing stages with artists such as Ben Lee, Mia Dyson, Jose Gonzalez, Josh Pyke, Missy Higgins and Laura Veirs. They have also been invited to play festivals such as Queenscliff, Homebake, The Falls, Feel Good, Harvest and the Blue Mountains Blues & Roots.
Their debut album Dead Wood Falls was recorded with producer Paul McKercher (Augie March, You Am I) over 5 days live to tape at Melbourne's infamous Sing Sing Studios with guest musicians including Charlie Owen (Beasts of Bourbon) and Bic Runga.
Creating a sultry blend of blues-edged country-flecked rock, Jen Cloher & The Endless Sea have fast established themselves as a band to watch.
"Dead Wood Falls is an astonishingly accomplished debut - delivering abundant cause for Cloher to be counted amongst this country's very brightest of young things." **** RHYTHMS
