Irglová and Hansard came to prominence together starring in the 2007 film Once and winning the Academy Award for Best Original Song with their composition Falling Slowly in 2008. The soundtrack garnered two Grammy nominations and the two christened their project, The Swell Season. They went on to release the critically acclaimed album Strict Joy and touring the world before branching out into solo careers.
Since the success of Once, Irglová has released three studio albums, the most recent one of them being Lila, recorded with an Icelandic producer Sturla Mio Thorisson at their Masterkey studio in Iceland. Lila reflects on Irglová’s journey from her Girl from a Movie status to wife, mother and artist.
Hansard has released five studio albums, the most recent one of them being All That Was East Is West Of Me Now (2023). Earlier in ‘22 he toured as part of Eddie Vedder’s Earthlings band and was featured on the Flag Day soundtrack with Vedder and Cat Power.
Now The Swell Season is back.
