Irish musician Glen Hansard, who is no stranger on the scene, nonetheless began this album in secret. In November 2022, he and his band set up shop in a corner of his favorite pub to test his new songs on the local audience, in order to gauge the opinion not of the crowds from his concerts, but of the pub regulars. Hansard left the performance – albeit perhaps a bit tipsy – with the inspiration to create the most rock-focused album of his discography… one that would drown out the laughter and clinking pints of the crowd below. Recorded in a Dublin studio, his fifth album All That Was East Is West Of Me Now has a simpler, rougher, and more straightforward sound compared to his previous works.

Glen Hansard's folk-rock is undeniably more rock than folk here. In some tracks, especially at the top of the album, you can hear the influence of electric Neil Young-style guitars, which bring with them a newfound darkness and sense of tension. But amidst the edginess – Hansard manages to stay loyal to his Van Morrison influences, crafting winter folk ballads that make you want to stay by the fireplace or at the back of the pub while it's raining outside. Sometimes, the two influences collide in the record - offering ballads in the storm. Regardless of the style, Hansen, in chunky knitted sweaters, excels with his crooner-like voice. “Between us there is music” he sings on the album’s fourth track – reminding us that this is music designed to bring people together.
