Hozier - Hozier (10th Ann. Edition)

The debut full-length release for Irish singer-songwriter Andrew Hozier-Byrne features a guest appearance from Karen Cowley.

Hozier is more than capable of drifting smoothly between bluesy soul, juke-joint R&B, and drinking-song folk on his hearty debut and the understated maturity of the 24-year-old is a beacon for young writers learning to craft significant compositions.

Gospel choirs hum and swell tenderly beneath the rougher edges of his riffs. They add mature, universal gravitas and often a holy ecstacy to an intense, youthful lyrical tangling of religion and romantic obsession that regularly finds him poised "between love and abuse". 

Available on Ltd 2LP - Opaque custard vinyl  & Deluxe 2CD
