Music reviews of The Swell Season
Music Review: Great
Rating: 5 Stars
The title says it all. This is a refreshing change from the hyped-junk that is currently being shoved out in front of the public by the music companies. Escape the junk, and enjoy this great music. Also check out the movie called "Once", for which this music is the soundtrack, and these musicians are the actors.
Description of The Swell Season
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.General CDs
