Over 20 years in the making, singer songwriter Glen Hansard has released his first ever solo album, Rhythm and Repose. Best known for his work with The Frames, The Swell Season and in the feature film 'Once,' for which he won an Academy Award, Rhythm and Repose is Hansard’s debut solo album and first album of new material since his 2009 release Strict Joy with The Swell Season.
Glen Hansard's journeyman career has so many fantastic stories, from his shy film debut in The Commitments to the surprise success of his indie hit film Once. In between he has lifted audiences around the world with his spiritual, driven performances, as the leader of lauded Irish heroes The Frames, and half of the duo The Swell Season.
For Rhythm and Repose, Hansard is where he wants to be, with no intervening structure between him and his audience. He has stripped away the emotional layers to reach a core, a core that shines through in songs like 'Love Don t Leave Me Waiting' with its easy, Muscle Shoals vibe. There is also a power of feeling on songs like 'Philander,' with Hansard capturing a vocal intensity live in the studio we have not heard from him before. And this is Glen Hansard s time. Building on the success of Once, which became a Broadway musical receiving rave reviews, Glen became part of the hot soundtrack, The Hunger Games, which features Glen performing under his own name, and as a writer for Maroon Five s track 'Come Away From the Water.'
„Rhythm and Repose is an album of quality and substance. It has a general feeling of serenity which bleeds through the heartfelt story telling. It could be said that it offers few surprises for those familiar with his weighty arsenal of work, but perhaps this serves as the album Glen Hansard envisaged when he first busked on the streets of Dublin some twenty years ago – stripped-back, thoughtful and honest. Newcomers to his work will undoubtedly be inspired to delve into that back-catalogue to discover where this talent was formed.“ (Craig Walker, www.folkradio.co.uk)
“Glen Hansard is a gifted, emotive frontman who sings as if he must, with a heart on his sleeve that is constantly throbbing.” (The New York Times)
