Glen Hansard releases his new album Didn't He Ramble on Friday September 18, and we're exclusively streaming it here.
The follow-up to Hansard's 2012 solo debut Rhythm & Repose, Didn't He Ramble has been billed as his "most intimate and elegant record since his work in Once".
See what you think below:
The album was recorded in Dublin, France, New York and Chicago and features guest appearances by John Sheahan (The Dubliners), Sam Beam (Iron & Wine) and Sam Amidon.
Hansard's longtime collaborator Thomas Bartlett (The National, Sufjan Stevens) and former Frames bandmate David Odlum handled production duties.
"I feel I've really dug deep for these songs, and I've been chasing specific ideas asking myself, 'What is it I'm trying to say with this line or idea?'," said the singer-songwriter.
"One would hope that through all of this that you find your voice. And, amazingly, you might find it in the smallest gesture of a song."
