cartThe Sugargliders
In a short career between 1990 and 1994 the Sugargliders released ten singles and one album. These two boys – Josh Meadows was 19 when they started, his brother Joel 16 – from Melbourne, Australia, wrote simple, original pop songs, brimming with an unpolished emotional honesty that earned the band an international following. A Nest with a View collects, for the first time, their finest moments for Melbourne’s Summershine and for legendary English pop label Sarah Records.
