Here is the latest single from the Oscar winner Glen Hansard & Markéta Irglová, also known as a swell season. With gently existing drums, Irglová's atmospheric key and comprehensive threads by Marja Gaynor on violin and Viola Bertrand Galen on cello there is a rich, complete sound that increases Hansard's beautiful, monode vocal performance. The video produced by James Del and Anthony Mulcahy was recorded during a surprise appearance at New York Bar Croboker. It is a pleasure to watch the enchanted crowd how Hansard and Irglová demonstrate their masterly musicality.

The duo says about the song: “In every situation of letting go, continued is clearly the right and natural thing. This song speaks to this part of us, which cannot get there. The moment just before full acceptance.” As always, it is thoughtful, sensitive songwriting; “Stuck in the opposite” Is absorbing, warm and really moves like previous singles for the listener.

This has been from the long -awaited first album of the couple for 16 years. The new eight song collection ”,”Forward”was produced by Sturla Mio Thorisson and in Iceland together with the new band member Piero Perelli about Percussion and original from the swell season musician Marja Gaynor and Bertrand Galen on a wonderfully sounding string and Joseph Doyle on bass. Irglová says: “It really felt like it was to write the” Forward “record because it is a kind of reunion, but we don't go backwards. We both have grown and changed. We are in different places and get to know each other again as the new people we have become.” This is beautiful stuff. Listen to.
