The Swell Season è un duo folk formato dal cantautore irlandese Glen Hansard, noto per la sua attività nei The Frames, e dalla cantante e pianista ceca Markéta Irglová. Il loro stile musicale si caratterizza per un folk acustico con melodie vocali particolarmente curate. Il duo ha raggiunto fama internazionale grazie alla colonna sonora del film "Once", nel quale hanno interpretato i personaggi di due musicisti che si incontrano a Dublino e sviluppano una relazione attraverso la musica. La loro collaborazione, nata sul set del film, ha dato vita a un album omonimo, "The Swell Season", pubblicato nel 2008. L'album ha riscosso un grande successo, vincendo il premio Oscar per la migliore canzone originale con il brano "Falling Slowly". Oltre al successo cinematografico, The Swell Season ha continuato a pubblicare musica e a esibirsi in tutto il mondo, consolidando la propria posizione come uno dei duo folk più apprezzati della scena internazionale. Tra i brani rappresentativi del loro repertorio ricordiamo "The Hill", "Say It To Me Now" e "Lie With Me".
