iTunes Review

Glen Hansard spent more than 15 years performing his spirit-tugging soul-infused alternative rock with the Frames. Popular in Ireland, the Frames never made the Atlantic crossing. It wasn’t until Hansard’s appearance with Czech songwriter Marketa Irglova in the 2007 film Once that his music reached a worldwide mass audience. The couple, linked romantically, split up at the beginning of 2009, but remained together as a musical unit for Strict Joy. Hansard has always channeled Van Morrison in his raspy soulful strut and “Low Rising” and “Feeling the Pull” are the stronger for it. “In These Arms” recalls the alluring whisper of the Frames’ finest quiet works with the added benefit of the couple’s sweet harmonies. Hansard handles the acoustic lilt of “Paper Cut” himself.  Irglova comes to the front for the piano and string beauty of “Fantasy Man” and the Celtic-folk inspired “I Have Loved You Wrong.” There is no palpable tension between the couple, but sorrow touches many of the songs and the intimacy is undeniable.

Swell Album
     
by Pop-Ditty

G & M have done again. Although, the album is a departure form their first album, the chemisrty has gotten stronger. The Frames boys have added a layer to this album that I was constantly looking for in the Swell Season's last album. You will not be disappointed with purchasing this album. All of the songs have meat (or veggies) on them. Glen's lyrics are as strong as ever and Marketa features in a more substantial way in my opinion. Enjoy the tunage!

Good Musical Music!
     
by NewFam07

My favorite song on here is High Horses. But I also like the Verb, and all the rest. Once I got these songs I've listened to nothing but this CD. These folks use tempo and volume and all sorts of techniques to add depth to their music without being even the slightest bit techno or overly processed. I love the use of the classical stringed instruments and of course I love the way their voices blend. Thank you for making this album! I love it!

Possibly the most beautiful voices in music today
     
by ken rocks 2007

I was completely in love w/ the soundtrack to ONCE, and this new lp is brilliant, very melancholy, amazing vocals, great arrangements...heartbreaking stuff. You owe it to yourself to listen to this lp. Not sure what stands out to me at the moment, it all sounds great. I love the sound of Glen and Marketa's voices, pure magic.
