VINYL Hozier: Hozier 2LP Gatefold NEW / Sealed. Comes from a smoke free home.
Hozier's self-titled debut album is a blend of blues, soul, and indie rock with elements of gospel, R&B, and folk:
Sound
The album features oily guitar riffs, crashing high-hats, angelic choruses, and sung-spoken verses. It also has strong percussion, dark instrumentals, whimsical strings, and soulful vocals.
Themes
The album explores themes of failed relationships, dying in a field with your love, and the interaction between nature and love.
Highlights
Some say the album is substantial yet accessible, with hooks that will remain in your ears and lyrics that will stay on your mind. Others say the album is intelligent, and that Hozier's vocal is so easy and sincere that you can feel it whisper to you.
Influences
Some say Hozier's version of folky blues is danker and more interesting than George Ezra's, and that he's influenced by the sparseness and unfiltered melancholy of the Delta blues. Others say he channels Van Morrison's Celtic R&B, Southern soul, and Black Keys-style garage blues.
