The amazing songstress Marketa Irglova just recorded a Daytrotter session where she played songs from her heartbreaking new solo album Anar. If you liked her work with The Swell Season, you should definitely give this a listen. “The piano ballads that make up her debut solo album, “Anar,” are touching displays of where a heart is after all of the smoke and dust has settled completely out of the air and emotions have calmed down to eerie levels – especially after all that’s just happened. The thump of the body hitting the ground is still felt and there’s a hollow ringing that’s deafening. On the most brutal, but potentially transformative song on the album, Irglova sings, “Hold me tight, but just for tonight/But not as tight as before/We’re not that close anymore/At least not in that way/We’ve drifted further with each day/We’ve waited it out just to see/If we could love one another casually/I’ve been a good friend to you/I’ve always been there for you,” on “For Old Time’s Sake.” It’s cutting and it’s biting and it’s a woman fumbling around in the darkness for the answers she needs, for the conclusions and the closure that likely will never come. It’s just about passing time in a totally different way, from now on.” – Daytrotter Marketa’s Daytrotter Set List includes: “For Old Time’s Sake” “Go Back” “Only In Your Head” “Time” To listen go here.
