The Cardinal Sings

Eric Matthews, former memeber of chamber pop outfit Cardinal, has been in a writing mood of late. After he created two fine solo records for Sub Pop in the mid to late nineties, he disappeared for quite a stretch. He returned in 2005 and has put out three solo releases since then. This year he released a new CD entitled The Imagaination Stage. With the release is a very limited run of 500 copies that will come with a bonus CD containing two extra songs; Cell 33 (Redux), and Where You Belong. In addition these limited runs will be shipped with an 18x24 hand numbered poster of the album's artwork, which was done by Anthony Difatta. The posters will also be signed by Eric. And finally the CD booklet will have lyrics and other artwork by Difatta. The limited edition of the release is only available from the Empyrean Records website.
