传记
来自爱尔兰的浓厚香醇的Britpop，让人爱不释手的The Frames历年走来已经是第6张正式Album了,期间成员的不断流动,厂牌的不断更换,都使得The Frames的音乐越发的飘散出成熟美,这只有岁月的积淀才能散发的出.尤其喜欢近2张的Burn the Maps和Cost.
一手创造乐队的主唱Glen Hansard的嗓音天生就是唱Britpop的,低调不做作,忧郁不感伤,又不失爆发力,这在Rise和People Get Ready中便可见一斑.主打Song for Someone和Falling Slowly的旋律相信一定能俘获众多Britpop爱好者的心,Sad Songs的唯美更是轻易让我沉溺。True的大气，绝妙的和声，更是让我迷失。
The Frames是一支根基主要在都柏林的爱尔兰独立乐队，成军于1990年,目前乐队已经发行了6张专辑及不少的音乐MV.乐队也是1990年代早期都柏林地区摇滚人才辈出时现在仅幸存的乐队之一，他们和Turn乐队一起，被看做是爱尔兰摇滚的中坚力量。
乐队前贝司手John Carney 现在是位电影导演,并在2006年导演了获奖电影once,电影中乐队的主唱兼吉他手glen hasard出演了主演,电影中绝大部分歌曲也全出自他手.THE FRAMES名字的由来要和glen hansard很年轻的时候说起，当时glen 经常帮助朋友们修理自行车，所一家里放着很多破自行车的构架（frame）,2001年的一次采访中， glen 说：“当时我确实曾经短暂的工作在一家自行车商店，但是乐队名字的主要是由于我家的后花园摆满了破自行车和构架，有的路人发现堆的那么高的破自行车后，就把自己的破自行车也仍进来了，我家因为这个而出名。”这大概就是the frames乐队名称的由来吧。
乐队这些年来有过许多成员，其中些成员包括前成员同时也是其他一些都柏林摇滚乐队的成员。如Colm Mac Con Iomaire和Dave Odlum是民谣乐队 Kíla的成员。乐队也与其他一些乐队关系紧密。都柏林是glen 开始音乐生涯的地方，2001年当 Kíla乐队的成员Mic Christopher去世时，glen 和他的乐队组织了场名为Skylarkin的演唱会来纪念Mic Christopher。(Skylarkin为Mic Christopher很出名的一首歌曲).

On their first studio album in nearly four years, the Frames have opted for a fuller, more adventurous sound than on 2001’s Steve Albini-produced For the Birds, although this placid, smoky-bar ambiance owes more to 'Birds than to 1999’s Dance The Devil. From the opening acoustic strums and lingering background vocals of "Happy" through "Locusts" and its Donovan-does-"Atlantis" vibe, this record teeters on the dark side, rescued by the stirring John Cale inspired string arrangements of violinist Colm Mac Con Iomaire. Most of the Dublin based foursome’s dozen tracks have muted beginnings that swell to intoxicating volumes, as is the band’s trademark, with Glen Hansard’s uninhibited vocals uniformly at ease with the turbulent "Underglass" and the dreamy, windblown "Ship Caught in the Bay" (seemingly written with Astrud Gilberto in mind). It’s an unpredictably bipolar record with plenty of mood swings and emotional shifts that will ultimately leave listeners with feelings of euphoria. –Scott Holter
Ireland's biggest band (even rivaling U2) has built an impressive North American fan base from scratch. They put on an incredibly dynamic show and their constant touring, both on their own and with Damien Rice, Calexico, and The New Pornographers, has paid off to the point where they sell out large clubs in all the major cities. This is their fifth studio album and first for Anti. It's also their most cohesive. The band have reconciled their various personalities into one volatile organism, synthesizing gorgeous melancholy with full-blown anger. "The Frames sing about love and death and revelation. They pick folky ballads full of quiet longing; they seethe and mourn; they build crescendos and taper down to fiddle tunes and build again, making hearts surge every time"
