The Cost

One of Ireland's most successful bands, known for their sell-out performances to 20,000 fans in their homeland, as well as their relentless touring schedule across the globe. With their sixth studio album, they've returned to an earlier, simpler mode of recording, in order to finally capture the intensity and ecstasy of their live performances. Retaining the signature Frames feel and texture but with more space and warmth, The Cost is, in leader Glen Hansard's words, "our 70's folk record - Gordon Lightfoot, early Elton John, that kind of feel." With their catchiest songs to date and the intimate feel of their lauded live performances, The Cost will lift The Frames alongside bands like Coldplay to inspire and exhilarate us.
