This Wild Willing

Glen Hansard

A departure into shadowy, experimental textures. Hansard trades his busker's stomp for nocturnal electronics and dense, improvised orchestral swells.

A restless, nocturnal exploration of intimacy and mystery wrapped in dense, atmospheric layers.

Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden, jarring electronic pulse that disrupts the acoustic intimacy of the opening track
The slow, agonizing build of the seven-minute Weight of the World into a chaotic orchestral peak
The way the backing vocals on Mary feel like they are physically surrounding the listener in a warm embrace
