Check this out! Jason Segel made a surprise appearance at the Swell Season show in LA last night, and premiered a new song!

Jason consulted the Swell Season's Marketa Irglova for songwriting tips and she told him to "include as much personal information as you can."

As you can tell from this new tune - which includes Jason's full acting CV, phone #, and some other (very) personal details - he took the advice to heart.

SWELL SEASON PLAYS 1st NEW SONGS SINCE 'ONCE' @ NPR

Last week the Swell Season made a trip down to DC for a Tiny Desk Concert at NPR. If you've never been to a TDC, they're quite a sight. They're literally filmed at the desk of NPR's Bob Boilen and though Glen admitted he'd never held down a desk job before, he and Marketa were totally in their element, performing seven songs mostly from the new album, and even playing the first-ever Tiny Desk encore!

Here is what NPR had to say about the performance: "From quietly mournful sing-alongs to Van Morrison-esque thrill rides, the whole thing doesn't so much satisfy expectations as feed them further." Watch it here: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=111679769

The new Swell Season album 'Strict Joy,' is out Oct 27 on Anti-.
