What did you read during the pandemic? I distracted myself with some music biographies, but our Irish friend, Hozier, found himself deeply entrenched in the 14th century epic poem, Dante’s Inferno. Dante’s journey through the nine circles of Hell inspired Hozier’s new album, Unreal Unearth.

Greed, Anger, Gluttony, Lust, you know the drill. They frame an album that also reflects on the last few years while bringing in musical inspiration from the ‘90s and adding in some synth.

A journey to the pits of hell with Unreal Unearth from Hozier is your Album of the Week.
