Renowned for his gorgeous music with The Frames and Swell Season, Glen Hansard recently surprised us with the news he’d release his first solo album, Rhythm and Repose – in the works for over 20 years. Far from stripped back (as we heard on ‘Philander’), it’s rich with guests including Nico Muhly, Sam Amidon, Bryan Devendorf and Marketa Irglova. You can pre-order the album now via JB HiFi, ahead of its June 15 release.
