Free Music Review: Spirited Irish rock without all the proselytising
Hit: 5 Stars
In all honesty, this is the only way in which one can be introduced appropriately to The Frames. Their live performances add an extra dimension to music that, in the studio versions, at times fails to represent the true spirit and character of the band (and particularly of Glen Hansard, their lead singer). That being said, of course, the studio albums are somewhat more understated and exquisite, and I would recommend them regardless.
However, live is where The Frames really hit their stride. The sheer energy and exuberance of their performances are a thing to be reckoned with, and having seen them live I can truly say that it was one of the most enjoyable live music experiences of my life. Their wonderfully passionate Irish enthusiasm (and I hate to say that, as it is such a tired cliche for Irish groups, but this really is the case) pervades each and every song, from the rollicking opening of 'Revelate' to the increasingly anthemic 'Lay Me Down' and the oddly comforting closer, 'The Blood.' And it is on songs such as 'Fitzcarraldo' and 'Your Face' that the impact of this live element is most evident. Understated as studio recordings, here they are imbued with such glorious passion and spirit that they are entirely new songs (and my favourites on this record, simply for their complete trnsformation).
'Set List' is one of the few live albums I know of that is equally as enjoyable to listen to as a whole set or as standalone songs. If you appreciate music with true heart and spirit, if you like Irish music, or if you are merely looking for a rock band with an element of real character, pick up 'Set List.' For me it confirms The Frames as Ireland's best band, by a mile. Better than U2 in my books - all of the spirit without the posturing and proselytising of Bono. Glen Hansard is an outstanding frontman, and thankfully through his role in 'Once' more and more people are being engaged by his thoroughly charming personality, a personality that is clearly reflected in this album. 5 stars.
