[[Image:Glen_marketa_derry_2006.jpg|thumb|180px|left|[[Glen Hansard|Glen]] and [[Markéta Irglová|Markéta]], during a show in [[Derry]], [[Northern Ireland]], in April 2006]]'''''The Swell Season''''' originally refers to the [[2006]] album by [[Ireland|Irish musician]] [[Glen Hansard]] and Czech singer and pianist [[Markéta Irglová]]. The title of the album as well as of the song ''The Swell Season'' is inspired by Hansard's favourite novel by [[Josef Škvorecký]] from [[1975]] bearing the same title. They now sometimes refer to themselves as "The Swell Season" when performing together, since their mutual rise to prominence after starring in the film ''[[Once (film)|Once]]'' in [[2007]]. |

The initial album came about after Glen and Marketa were approached by the Czech film director [[Jan Hřebejk]] while touring in the [[Czech Republic]], and were asked by him to record songs for his upcoming film ''[[Beauty in Trouble]]''. It was the first album that Hansard, the singer for [[The Frames]], had released independently of his band. |
|||
Some of the tracks on this album have appeared on other recordings - the track "Falling Slowly" and "When Your Mind's Made Up" on [[The Frames]]' album ''[[The Cost]]'', and "Falling Slowly", "When Your Mind's Made Up", "Lies" and "Leave" on the ''[[Once (film)|Once]]'' soundtrack. |
|||
In February 2008 the duo won an [[Academy Award for Best Original Song]] for "[[Falling Slowly]]", beating songs from the films ''[[Enchanted (film)|Enchanted]]'' and ''[[August Rush]]''. |
