Rhythm and Repose is the solo album that I have wanted from Glen Hansard for years now. While I, along with millions of others, fell for the soft beauty of the Swell Season, Hansard's collaboration with Markéta Irglová, I always felt that it was a bit too soft for my taste. I always preferred the music of Hansard's other band, The Frames, where the band's music and Hansard's voice could go from soft and tender to a raw and explosive in the course of a single measure. With Rhythm and Repose, Hansard has taken the best of what he learned and did with The Swell Season and Frames. Here his songs resinate for both their beauty and the way that Hansard pours the full depths of what his voice can emotionally convey into them. Maybe Not Tonight

What I love about music is its power to transport me. Sometimes it’s unexpected, sometimes it’s exactly where I want to be. A single melody can unlock memories I didn’t realize I still carried, while certain chords or lyrics take me to another time or place. Some songs feel like home, offering shelter, while others deliver me to an unknown place or space, stirring emotions I can’t quite name. In this way, music isn’t just sound—it’s a sonic subway, delivering me to a station of refuge or one I never knew existed.
