Last month, The Swell Season (Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová) reunited for the first time in nearly two decades. While their 2009 deluxe edition of Strict Joy remains a folk holy grail, lovers of the Oscar Award-winning duo’s commanding sound desperately longed for new original music.
With July’s release of Forward (via Secretly), supporters of The Swell Season’s wishes were granted. If you are one of the unfortunate souls that missed their North American tour stop, today (August 2), The Swell Season stopped by CBS’ Saturday Sessions to deliver a live in-studio performance of several records from their latest album, Forward.
Watch The Swell Season’s performances of “Great Weight,” “Stuck In Reverse,” and “People We Used To Be” on CBS Morning below.
