Hozier – Unreal Unearth (2xLP)

In March, the Irish singer-songwriter had already released the digital EP "Eat Your Young" with three songs. With it, Hozier simultaneously celebrated his birthday, the tenth anniversary of his debut EP "Take Me To Church" and the prospect of album number three. Because all songs of the EP will also be found on "Unreal Unearth".

Thematically, the Irishman remains true to his penchant for literature and ecclesiastical themes. The songs are inspired by Dante's "Divine Comedy" and deal with two of the nine circles of hell, gluttony and heresy. Greek mythology and Irish lore also feature on Hozier's new album. Once again, the Irish singer thus underlines his complexity and depth.

With more than 20 billion streams and 30 million monthly listeners, Hozier is one of the leading artists in the folk/singer-songwriter genre worldwide. Hozier made his breakthrough in 2013 with his anthemic "Take Me To Church," which recently won a Diamond Award in the U.S. for selling over one million units. With it he put his global success on a firm footing, gold and platinum awards for his first two albums, a Grammy nomination and various other awards worldwide followed.
