Glen Hansard & Markéta Irglová

Musical Group

A musical collaboration between Irish singer-songwriter Glen Hansard and Czech pianist/vocalist Markéta Irglová, known for the album The Swell Season and the song "Falling Slowly" from the film Once (which won the Academy Award for Best Original Song).

Glen Hansard is the leader of The Frames; Markéta Irglová is a Czech pianist and singer. The duo collaborated on the film Once (directed by John Carney) and on the album The Swell Season. Their song "Falling Slowly" won the Academy Award for Best Original Song.

The available review praises The Swell Season as an intimate, autumnal folk record: simple, genuine and melancholic. It highlights Glen Hansard's warm, guitar-led delivery and Markéta Irglová's cold, haunting piano-led vocals. The album is framed as complementary to the film Once and features the Oscar-winning song "Falling Slowly."

For:Fans of intimate acoustic folk, singer-songwriter listeners, and cinephiles who appreciated Once.

A folk album both melancholic and romantic at the same time, with its guitars, piano, voice, accordion, and some strings in the background at key moments; with some pop hues from time to time, but never compromising with easy listening. Simple, genuine, honest. Like the crackling fire in the home fireplace. As befits an autumn album.
