Glen Hansard, the frontman of the Irish band The Frames, has 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 are used in this film, that has won the World Cinema Audience Award at Sundance 2007. For more info: http://www.myspace.com/oncethemovie

Note on tagging tracks:
For the purists out there… Please tag tracks with “The Swell Season” unless it’s a live performance featuring only Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová - in which case use “Glen Hansard & Markéta Irglová”).

It's similar to Damien Rice and Lisa Hannigan especially according to Markéta's voice behind his one, but his voice differs a lot from Damien's one.

Actually, it's because people who have it tagged as "Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova" (without the inflections) are now being redirected to here, as it's the correct spelling. People were always listening. ;)

so i dont see any buzz about this "band" (can you even call them a band?) but yeah anyway there was absolutely nothing going on about this band in the last week so how did it manage to generate more than 9000 points in fantasy festival in one week when the top scoring artist of all time hasnt even got that many points ? sorry but something seems very very wrong there. theres no buzz with this artist none !

fantasy festival is rigged, unless you get points for songs called "you ain't going nowhere" and "lies"
