Since 1990, Glen Hansard is the frontman of Irish rock band The Frames. But he also released three solo albums to date, Between Two Shores being the most recent one. Roll On Slow is the new single off that record. It features a great horn arrangement.

Hansard says about the track: “Roll On Slow was written while I was living in a former women’s refuge called the Florence Mission on Bleecker Street in New York City. My girlfriend was away in Europe and I was drinking too much. I was walking home from a bar at dawn, which was happening a few too many mornings in a row. The song is simply about missing your girl and being unable to take care of yourself.”

In support of his new album, Glen Hansard and his band will play twelve gigs in Europe this February.
