There followed musical collaborations and an album release. They both rose in prominence after starring in the 2007 film Once, from the soundtrack to which their song Falling Slowly was nominated for the 2007 Grammy for %22Best Song Written for Motion Picture%22 and won them the 2007 Academy Award for %22Best Original Song%22.Life eventually reflected art as they became a romantic couple off-screen, but this relationship ended in 2009 - though they continue to write, record and perform together.
dbo:abstract
  • The Swell Season is a folk rock duo formed by Irish musician Glen Hansard and Czech singer and pianist Markéta Irglová. %22The Swell Season%22 name is derived from Hansard's favourite novel by Josef Škvorecký from 1975 bearing the same title. Their debut album goes by the same name.Since their rise to prominence after starring in the 2007 film Once, they increasingly referred to themselves as %22The Swell Season%22 in promotion of their performances until it became the formal name of their collaboration in 2008. (Notably, they still used their separate names when they contributed their cover of Bob Dylan's %22You Ain't Goin' Nowhere%22 to the 2007 soundtrack of I'm Not There.)From 2007 through 2010, a documentary film was made about Irglova and Hansard called The Swell Season. The documentary premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in June 2011 to positive reviews.
