    Acoustic, alternative duo, The Swell Season, are Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova, from the film Once. Glen Hansard (vocals, guitar) of the Irish band, The Frames and Marketa Irglova (vocals, piano) first happened upon one another when The Frames were touring the Czech Republic. The pair met through Irglova's father who is a musician and gig promoter. In 2005 they recorded an album together in Prague entitled The Swell Season, which was released in April 2006 and also featured two Interference musicians, Marja Tuhkanen (violin) and Bertrand Galen (cello). In many ways, the album was to prove partly inspirational for John Carney’s Once, a low-budget indie film that was one of the most successful independent features of 2007. The pair not only wrote the songs for the movie, but they starred in it as well and won an Academy Award for "Falling Slowly" in the Best Original Song category. The year ahead will see Hansard work on the new Frames album while both he and Marketa will tour the U.S. and Europe as The Swell Season.
