All That Was East Is West Of Me Now (LP)
Glen Hansard
Amoeba Review
Glen Hansard's All That Was East Is West of Me Now is a record about realizing your days are numbered, making the most of what's to come, and honoring what's in the rearview. Perhaps not surprisingly, it's an album of emotional highs and lows, the mood shifting between meditative and resolute. Hansard gets sweepingly romantic on the Leonard Cohenesque "Sure as the Rain." On "The Feast of St. John," Hansard brings authenticity and to Springsteen-like guitar grandiosity. "Bearing Witness" is powerfully raw, an ode to making the most of the hand you're dealt and not looking back. An excellent, moving album from one of modern music's most treasured songwriters.
