Glen Hansard, the frontman of the Irish band The Frames released his first solo album called The Swell Season, in collaboration with a Czech singer and multiinstrumentalist Markéta Irglová.
Violinist Marja Tuhkanen and the cellist Bertrand Galen (both recently performing with the Irish band Interference) also collaborated on this record.
The album was released on April 21st, 2006 (on Glen Hansard’s 36th birthday).
Four of these tunes can be heard at the official myspace site, at http://www.myspace.com/theswellseason. You’ll find there also the cover art and the story of the album.
Hansard and Marketa starred together in the film ‘Once’ by writer/director John Carney (a former bass player of The Frames). Many songs of the album The Swell Season were used in this film, that has won the World Cinema Audience Award at Sundance 2007. Falling Slowly won the 2008 Academy Award for Best Original Song. In Once, according to the Falling Slowly Songfacts, Hansard played an Irish busker who has a romantic relationship with Irglova’s Czech flower seller. Bob Dylan was so taken by the film that he asked Hansard and Irglova to be the opening act on his world tour. For more info: http://www.myspace.com/oncethemovie
