Our Take

Glen Hansard's latest offering, "All That Was East Is West Of Me Now," is a whimsical journey through the highs and lows of love and life. With his trademark gravelly vocals and soulful melodies, Hansard captures the essence of heartache and hope in equal measure.

The album opens with the haunting "Lost In The Mystery," a delicate ballad that sets the tone for the rest of the record. Hansard's poignant lyrics explore themes of longing and redemption, weaving a tapestry of emotions that resonate long after the final notes have faded.

Tracks like "Hollow Tunes" and "Wayward Heart" showcase Hansard's exquisite songwriting abilities, while "Dance Of The Broken" brings a touch of Celtic folk influence to the mix. The instrumentation is lush and layered, with soaring strings and gentle acoustic guitar work adding depth to each track.

But it's the emotional depth of Hansard's performances that truly sets this album apart. His raw, honest delivery lays bare his innermost thoughts and feelings, drawing listeners in and refusing to let go. By the time the record closes with the poignant "All That Was East," it's clear that Hansard has created a masterpiece that will stand the test of time.

"All That Was East Is West Of Me Now" is a triumph for Glen Hansard, showcasing his talent as a songwriter and performer in the best possible light. It's a record that deserves to be listened to again and again, each play revealing new layers of beauty and emotion. Don't miss out on this gem of an album. Trust us, you won't regret it.
