The Swell Season, the Oscar-winning duo consisting of Frames frontman Glen Hansard and Czech ingenue Marketa Irglova, have released Strict Joy. The album is the follow-up to their 2007 surprise hit film Once and its gold-certified, Academy-award winning soundtrack. The twelve new, original songs on Strict Joy document a time of great change. This album-matching folio includes four bonus songs from Once and both black & white and color photographs.
