Oct 23, 2011Ok, and worth treasuring since they have gone their separate ways. But go find the first Swell Season album, the one they recorded between filming "Once" and its release when they were still unknown to all but Frames fans.

SherriM.Oct 28, 2009I think this CD has some gems: Feeling the Pull, High Horses, Paper Cup, Two Tongues, Love that Conquers. Brilliant song writing and singing.

[Anonymous]Oct 27, 2009Far more reaching in scope than the band's debut or soundtrack. A break-up album that sounds more alive than the "falling in love" ones prior. Look forward to Glen and Mar keeping this thing going.

On Strict Joy, the duo deliver with their most dynamic set yet, with hot Irish soul segueing into energetic folk rock and dream-pop-touched balladry.
