Glen Hansard – Don't Settle (Vol. 1 – Transmissions East) CD

Don't Settle (Vol. 1 is a singer-songwriter album by Glen Hansard on Plateau Records. This is the CD edition. This edition was released on April 24, 2026.

Don't Settle - Transmissions East" is the first release of two volumes coming out this year. Highlighting an incredibly prolific and diverse career, this isn't just a 'Best Of' - it's a live studio album, it's no second takes, no autotune, no editing. Just live, raw, direct energy that captures the magic of Glen like nothing released before. Recorded at the legendary Funkhaus in Berlin, a historical East German radio and recording studio, with a huge acoustically perfect orchestral live room - the album was captured in a controlled studio environment, yet recorded and filmed across two nights in the round, with 600 fans in the room each night. This release is not only supported by a nearly sold out UK/EU tour (London show is The Roundhouse) + underplay run in the US, but a feature length film and Making of, documenting this special time in Glens' career where we look to both the past and the future.
