Glen Hansard - All That Was East Is West of Me Now

Not many heroes of indie folk have won an Oscar or created the basis of
a successful stage musical, but Glen Hansard is an artist who can wear
both of those feathers in his cap
As a member of the Frames and the Swell Season, Hansard won acclaim for his
literate, intelligent, and passionate songwriting and his nuanced vocals, and he's
gone on to win similar accolades as a solo artist. Hansard frst gained an
audience for the limber but emphatic indie rock he created as a member of The
Frames, then gained international fame with fellow singer and songwriter
Marketa Irglova int he duo The Swell Season, whose emotionally open, primarily
acoustic indie folk became the centerpiece of the award- winning independent
romantic drama Once. After going out on his own with his 2012 solo debut,
Rhythm and Repose, Hansard has shown a stylistic diversity as he embraced the
sound of '70s singer/ songwriters on 2015's Didn't He Ramble, vintage soul on
2018's Between Two Shores, and an eclectic swing between subtle folk and noisy
indie rock on 2019's This Wild Willing.
Glen Hansard now presents All That Was East Is West Of Me Now, his frst solo
album in 5 years. The album demonstrates the Oscar-winning singer-songwriter's
unique ability to blend Irish folk with modern rock & the punch of his storied live
shows, of which The Guardian says ,"Hansard's powerful voice, whether raw with
passion or tender with regret, shines above arrangements bursting with swagger".
