Unearthing Hozier’s ‘Unheard’ gems

(03/26/24 10:00am)

The Irish musician and singer-songwriter Hozier recently released  a new extended play entitled “Unheard” as an extension to his August album “Unreal Unearth.” The poem Dante’s Inferno inspired “Unreal Unearth” and takes the listener through the circles of hell: limbo, lust, gluttony, greed, wrath, heresy, violence, fraud and treachery. Hozier revealed that over the pandemic he was hard at work making songs for this next album. Ultimately, he decided on 16 songs for the album, with one additional song, “Through Me (The Flood),” featured only on the “Eat Your Young” EP. This new EP, “Unheard,” features songs that were originally going to be on “Unreal Unearth” but were unable to make the original release.

The animated documentary “Flee” is full of powerful moments and visuals that touch the hearts of many viewers, earning the documentary an Oscar nomination.
