Hozier – Unreal Unearth [2 LP, Black Vinyl]

A dusky glow runs through Unreal Unearth, where Hozier threads soulful vocals, Irish folk inflections, and modern art pop into a widescreen return. The writing leans poetic and tactile, full of texture and atmosphere, and this 2 LP black vinyl edition gives the material room to move without crowding the mix.

The set pivots from slow-burn ballads to pulsing, percussive grooves with ease. Standout moments include “Eat Your Young” with its darkly seductive lilt, “Francesca” rising on a towering chorus, and “De Selby (Part 2)” gliding on neon synths and bass. Cuts like “All Things End” and “First Time” deepen the albums dynamic range while keeping the focus on voice and melody.

On vinyl, layered harmonies sit forward and clear, low end stays firm without smearing the mids, and strings, guitars, and keys unfold across a stable soundstage. Spreading the program over four sides preserves detail and headroom, and the double LP arrives in straightforward, shelf friendly packaging that suits daily spins and long term filing.
