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”).
