| Professional Review: |
| Frames front man Hansard has teamed up with classically trained Czech vocalist and pianist, Irglova to produce this album of affecting songs and compositions. From straight songs to piano instrumentals, "The Swell Season" affords an insight into a whole other side of Glen/The Frames, as well as offering a perfect introduction to this very talented newcomer. The record takes its name from author Josef Skvorecky's book of the same name. Set in Nazi occupied Czechoslovakia, the story centers on one man's love of music and his pursuit of unattainable women as a country comes unglued. Like the book, the record deals with the pains and hopes of those struggling to make sense of their lives. |

 Written on January 16, 2008 Summary: Absolutely amazing! I first heard the Swell Season on a KCRW Morning Becomes Eclectic podcast. I know it's a good sign when I keep replaying a podcast over and over again. I fell in love immediately and soon bought the "Once" soundtrack since it has some songs not on this album, or else the same songs are composed in a slightly different way. I only recently saw the movie, but the music stands out more than anything for me. It's slow, but comforting, and not depressing by any means. Someone once said that Glen Hansard as a "cello-like" voice and I completely agree. It gets down into your core. Written on January 8, 2008 Summary: Exactly. Brilliant. Yes, two brilliant minds working together to create even greater brilliance. The film "Once" is just as amazing. Written on January 7, 2008 Summary: More than "once" Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova make a real-life ending to the movie "once" with its satisfying but unresolved ending. They do the songs they liked, tart them up with excellent production values and add a few other tunes. Has a quieter, shinier feel than the movie soundtrack, sometimes a bit draggy. It almost comes out whole, but being part of a movie soundtrack and the rest added, it has a "parts of the sum" feeling. There are definitely some great tracks here if you want to just pick and choose. I wonder what's next for these two?  Written on January 7, 2008 Summary: Hansard CD This is second CD I have purchased of Hansard and Marketa. First was soundtrack of the movie ONCE. I believe it is rated by New Yorker in top hundred best sound tracks of films Just beautiful. Written on January 5, 2008 Summary: Once... I just saw the movie "Once". The music moved me. I had to get it and hear it again. BRILLIANT hardly says it, yet it's the one word that comes into my mind when I think of the music in this CD. It's just BRILLIANT! |
