The Swell Season
Recommended by: Theo Wolf
Irish musician Glen Hansard and Czech singer/pianist Marketa Irglova rose to fame as stars in a 2007 film about a musically entwined love story called Once. The single "Falling Slowly" from soundtrack for the film won the duo an Academy Award for Best Original Song and skyrocketed the pair to the success level of selling out venues like Radio City Music Hall. "Strict Joy," their follow up album to the Once soundtrack is set to debut in late October 2009 and will be a must listen to for the fall.
