Wednesday, 16 January 2019
Written by Laura Johnson
Following some teaser posts, Hozier has confirmed the details of his new album.
'Wasteland, Baby!', the follow up to his 2014 self-titled debut and a number of EPs, will arrive on March 1. He'll follow up the release with shows in North America, Australia, New Zealand, the UK and Ireland.
Head below to listen to the new record's first single, Almost (Sweet Music). It's an eclectic track, incorporating gospel, pop, indie and blues influences. Kicking off with a guitar-led melody, the rhythm is propelled by handclaps and finger clicks before expanding to incorporate drums and bass. Hozier's vocals, in a trademark move, ricochet between beautifully understated and exhaustingly passionate.
