Biography
The 23-year old Academy Award winner and one half of The Swell Season, releasedher first full-length solo album, titled Anar, October 7th on Plateau Records / GILDED ALM in Ireland (it was issued by Anti Records elsewhere). Citing references ranging from Otis Redding, to Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, to the soundtrack from Jesus Christ Super Star, Irglova pulled from numerous influences to create a delicate balance of ethereal vocals and expanding instrumentals on her 10-track debut, including the R&B influenced “Go Back” and heart felt song “Crossroads.” It is just over three years ago that the song “Falling Slowly” from the film Once shocked the world by winning the Oscar. In the ensuing years she has continued to share in a series of high points that include releasing another record as The Swell Season, touring as a vocalist in Iron and Wine, helping prepare the Broadway version of Once and even an appearance on The
Simpsons. However, Anar, is easily the achievment she should be most proud of.
