The Swell Season Slate Fall Tour

Irish-Czech duo The Swell Season have announced the launch of a fall U.S. tour, in honor of their second full-length release, Strict Joy.

Glen Hasard and Marketa Irglova have proven before that their stories of love translate well across geographical boundaries, with the 2008 film Once and accompanying, Oscar-winning soundtrack. Playwrights have even acquired worldwide rights to Once for a Broadway adaptation, as announced last October.

“Low Rising,” the second single off of Strict Joy, is now streaming through The Independent Ear. The album is slated for an Oct. 27 release through ANTI-.

Tickets can be purchased through the duo's official website.
