The Swell Season专辑介绍

看过最近的片子Once的朋友看到封面一定会认识的,对,这就是片中那个无名的男主人公。
本张专辑是ONCE的男女主人公出演者Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova在2006年的专辑。
Glen Hansard为爱尔兰乐队The Frames的主唱,有兴趣的朋友也可以在VC搜索本人前期发布的他们的The Cost专辑。
有评论说Damien Rice算Glen Hansard的音乐后辈,这就不多作评论了。
很喜欢Marketa Irglova的和声以及配合的脆弱的钢琴声,与Damien和Lisa有异曲同工之妙

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.
