The Swell Season - Forward
The Swell Season return with Forward, their first album in 16 years. Reuniting after a run of sold-out shows, Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová reconnect in the studio, crafting eight new songs that reflect their shared history while moving into fresh territory. Trading lead vocals and supported by former bandmates, the duo—whose music from Once became a global success—rekindle their partnership with warmth and quiet resilience. Produced by Sturla Mio Thorisson, the album carries both familiarity and new light.
