Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova caused audiences to collectively sigh wistfully with 2007 indie film Once, which won an Oscar for their song “Falling Slowly.” The duo (no longer together romantically) continues to work its magic as the Swell Season, playing to sold-out venues around the world. Strict Joy, the Swell Season’s follow-up to its self-titled debut and the Once soundtrack, will be released Tuesday on Anti-. The gentle harmonies and dreamy acoustic guitar on “In These Arms” will make you want to be first in line to buy the album.
