The Swell Season Announce Release of New Album, Strict Joy
Following 2008′s well-deserved Oscar for Best Original Song and their sold-out world tour, The Swell Season are preparing to release their newest collaboration, Strict Joy, via Anti- Records.
Recorded last year, Strict Joy derives its name from James Stephens’ poem, Strict Care, Strict Joy. (Said poem is kinda long and kinda poem-y but still good. Read it here.) The album was recorded primarily in Bridgeport, Connecticut and is set to be released on September 29th, 2009.
