Our Take

Glen Hansard's latest offering, "All That Was East Is West Of Me Now," is a masterclass in musical storytelling, with a healthy dose of Irish charm thrown in for good measure. Hansard, known for his work with The Frames and the Swell Season, takes listeners on a journey through heartbreak, hope, and everything in between.

From the soulful balladry of "What Lies Beyond" to the rollicking folk-rock of "Dublin Town," Hansard's songwriting is as sharp as ever, weaving poetry and melody into a tapestry of emotion. The album's rich arrangements, featuring lush strings and haunting harmonies, create a sonic landscape that is at once intimate and expansive.

Hansard's distinctive voice, full of raw emotion and gravelly charm, is front and center throughout the album, drawing listeners in with its warmth and vulnerability. Tracks like "Hold on to your Heart" and "The Road to Nowhere" showcase his ability to craft unforgettable melodies that linger long after the music fades.

"All That Was East Is West Of Me Now" is a testament to Hansard's talent and vision, a heartfelt and powerful collection of songs that will resonate with fans old and new. So grab a pint of Guinness, settle in, and let Glen Hansard take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget. Cheers to that!
