What Will We Be - Devendra Ban...
Also out today, The Swell Season's Strict Joy which cranks up the volume and the rock. Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova recorded their debut as their young love grew. Strict Joy is the response to their relationship's eventual demise. It's brimming with loud-quiet-loud passion, beautiful harmonies and scene-stealing solos as each artist takes his/her respective turn at the mic. Catch them live performing at the Rose Wagner Center with opener Rachel Yamagata Nov. 28.
