a better opener, they would not have to choose. The first thing we hear from Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova for their Oscar triumph, so "Rising Low". After Van Morrison's "Into the Mystic" eh a popular cover of the two, they now have their very own Van Morrison song, brass and string arrangements included. A powerful, timeless song. It continues also strong, with the main focus is on Glen Hansard's songs in which he moved away some of his signature melodies and harmonies and opens up new territory, precisely in the direction of classic, timeless songwriting ("Feeling the pull" or "The rain "). Mostly they are of course again very thoughtful, melancholy songs that were recorded here in contrast to the first album with full band very gentle and atmospheric.
If one compares the album cover, Get a good impression about the differences between the two albums. On this debut, with its small, intimate arrangements, a close, coarse-grained black and white photo of Glen Hansard, here is a soft, low contrast pencil drawing of the two flow into one another, in their hair.

Marketa Irglova gets revealed only two solo pieces, and only these two songwriting credits, then flow the Sun dreamily spherically as it used to and from their little melodies only gradually. Most of the time they supported Hansard with her piano and her two voices harmonize wonderfully as usual.
A second "Falling Slowly" is missing, fortunately and one or the other song is a little on the quiet and comfortable, but otherwise a very nice, very warm and very pleasant album.
