Hozier opening act
For the U.S. leg of his tour, Hozier is bringing special guest Allison Russell to all shows.
Russell, 41, walks the line between folk and R&B; if you’re looking to sample her sound, we suggest starting with her most-streamed track, the slow burning “Nightflyer.”
“Unreal Unearth”
Comprised of sixteen tracks, Hozier’s third studio album comes out of the gate quietly with the gentle strumming of an acoustic guitar in the opening track “De Selby (Part 1).”
Very soon after, Hozier’s lilting vocals soar and transform into what may be the rock song of the year, the slinky “De Selby (Part 2).”
The rest of the record keeps up this level of quality with folksy campfire jams (“First Time,” “I, Carrion”), headbangers (“Francesca,” “Who We Are”) and radio ready singles (“Eat Your Young,” “Anything But”).
If you’re planning on attending a show, we highly recommend checking out “Unreal Unearth” — it’s a more than worthy entry in Hozier’s impressive canon.
