WATCH: New Glen Hansard
We get a first glimpse of his first solo effort.
The Hot Press Newsdesk, 10 Apr 2012
Frames mainman Glen Hansard has finally decided to strike out alone - his debut solo record Rhythm And Repose is out June 15. The result of 18 months spent living in New York, the album was recorded by Patrick Dillett and Thom Barlett (both having previously worked with The National) and features musicians that have played previously with the likes of Bon Iver and Leonard Cohen. He's also roped in half of Bruce Springsteen's current horn section.
Ahead of that, we get a sample of what's to come today, with the video for 'Philander'. Check out the sharply-dressed Glen below.

Since winning an Oscar for Once, Glen Hansard‘s life has swerved like an out of control rollercoaster. There was a whirlwind romance with, and painful separation from, Markéta Irglová; the suicide of a fan which left him with brains on his shoes and a chasm in his soul and the strange guilt he felt at being successful. With his first solo album about to be released, he pulls up a stool and explains how he learned to stop worrying and love his new life in New York.
