2006-04-18 - REVIEW
One of the highlights of The Frames recent showcase gigs in Vicar Street, ‘Sleeping’ is evidence enough of how great a songwriter Glen Hansard can be. As a moment of startling beauty, this collaborative effort with Irglova harks back to The Frames frontman’s For The Birds era. In particular his wounded evocative vocal brings to mind the opening minutes of ‘Santa Maria’ or ‘The Mighty Sword’. Irglova’s contribution is to paint a haunting almost cinematic backdrop to Hansard’s lovers lullaby leaving us with a stunning piece of music. Forthcoming album The Swell Season may well prove something of an unexpected career highpoint.
