Glen Hansard – Don't Settle: Vol. 2 - Transmissions West (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Glen Hansard built his reputation the hard way, busking O'Connell Street as a teenager before fronting The Frames for decades and eventually bringing that same unguarded emotional honesty to an Academy Award win for "Falling Slowly" with Markéta Irglová. That lineage matters here because Hansard has always treated the live moment as the truest version of a song, and this second West-leaning volume continues what Transmissions East began: a document of an artist who still believes a room full of people and a guitar can hold everything.
Following the success of “Don+t Settle - Transmissions East” we now move onto the second part of this journey with “Don+t Settle - Transmissions West”
Highlighting an incredibly prolific and diverse career, this isn’t just a ‘Best of’ - its a live studio album, it’s a no second takes, no autotune, no editing. Just live, raw, direct energy that captures the magic of Glen like nothing released before.
Recorded at the legendary Funkhaus in Berlin, a historical East German radio and recording studio, with a huge acoustically perfect orchestral live room - the album was captured in a controlled studio environment, yet recorded and filmed across two nights in the round, with 600 fans in the room each night.
This release is not only supported by a nearly sold out UK/EU tour
(London show is The Roundhouse) but a feature length film and Making
of, documenting this special time in Glen’s career where we look to both
the past and the future.
