Low Rising (Daytrotter Sessions) by The Swell Season

“The music of the Swell Season likes to take us to these many splendored places of introspection and emotion where words can only begin to explain what’s actually happening. Hansard and Irglova strike out with their beautiful chemistry and their own set of experiences to rush us into the company of moments that are dimly lit, damp, downcast and yet still moments that we couldn’t possibly do without. They are the times that stop us dead in our tracks to think about something besides ourselves for just one goddamn second and to feel many of the consolatory feelings that we get when we don’t get treated the way we had dreamed we would be. We set out with a thought that there is pie in the sky and that true love will demonstrate its resiliency and its fantastic determination to zero in on its specific targets, never straying from its aim.” — Sean Moeller

No Special Effects by Jason Segel ft The Swell Season


Last night, Jason Segel got on stage during The Swell Season’s LA show and performed a song he wrote himself. (If you’ll recall, Segel wrote actually wrote all the music for the Dracula puppet musical in Forgetting Sarah Marshall.) It’s nothing short of hilarious and the best thing you will see today.
