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.
Customer Reviews
Great Duo
Marketa Irglova and Glen Hansard (The Swell Season) have gotten together and created a great new album!! Sctrict Joy is full of emotional guitar and piano components and is matched with heartfelt lyrics. This album makes struggle beautiful. I highly recommend this album! Especially the deluxe edition with all their live work. Glen Hansard reveals his inspiration for many of his songs and what they are about. VERY INTERESTING. I'm very excited to see them live in Vancouver
Break out the Kleenex!
If you don't cry during every song.. you have no soul.
Great album, with one notable exception
The live mix on Say it to Me Now is dreadful, as though done by someone with a tape recorder sitting cross-legged beside the drum kit - the problem does not seem to persist beyond this one track. It is really annoying when such an obvious lack of care is taken with a "Deluxe Edition", especially as it creates a really jarring transition from the tranquil bonus track of the studio release, Somebody Good. This one bit of incompetence should not unduly detract from the lovely melancholy of the new songs and the overall success of the live tracks.
