You may recognize Czech musician Markéta Irglová as being half of the Academy award-winning folk rock duo The Swell Season. But the New York-based singer and instrumentalist returned to the spotlight on her own last October with the release of her debut album Anar.
Irglová’s independent effort -- consisting largely of contemplative, piano-driven ballads -- documents recent changes undergone by the 23-year-old classically-trained pianist and vocalist (namely, marriage and relocation from Ireland to New York City). The 12-track work is reminiscent of Joni Mitchell, Tori Amos and Kate Bush.
Download the wistful single “Go Back” from Anar or watch the video for the song below.
