Swell Season returns Once more :: Music News :: Articles

Once seems like such an improper name for a film that you want to watch over and over again. With a touching love story intertwined with beautiful songs, John Carney’s modern-day musical has become the indie-success story of the year. It’s been so successful, in fact, that lead musicians, Glen Hansard (from The Frames) and Marketa Irglova, have had to take the movie soundtrack on the road.

Under the name Swell Season, Hansard and Irglova have already toured the U.S. performing the film's sweet melodies. Now, they are coming back for seconds. The tour started yesterday (Nov. 5) in Seattle and will continue only until Nov. 25. Swell Season’s time here is short, but if the film has proved anything it’s that the second time around is even better than the first.
