Unless you've been living under a rock with you eyes closed and your ears shut, you may have heard of a lovely film called "Once".
Apart from being a wonderful film, it has a brilliant soundtrack as well (<- iTunes Store link).
The soundtrack was written and performed by Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova, who also plays the lead characters in the film.
Both Hansard and Irglova are professional musicians before they acted in the film. Hansard is a lead singer in an Irish band called "The Frames" and Irglova is a Czech singer and pianist.
"Once" soundtrack is filled with melodic folk/singer-song-writer type songs. If you are a fan of Damien Rice, and Iron & Wine, you will definitely enjoy listen to the soundtrack.
Now, where does The Swell Season fits into all this, you ask? Well, The Swell Season is a name that Hansard and Irglova goes by when they are performing together.
The Swell Season will be performing at Agganis Arena in Boston on September 19th, 2008.
