Hozier’s upward career trajectory continues with a rave review for his eponymous debut album in Rolling Stone.
“Blessed with a sensual singing voice and a seemingly bottomless well of lapsed-Catholic-style conflict, Hozier channels Van Morrison's Celtic R&B, Southern soul and Black Keys-style garage blues into intimately roiling songs like ‘Angel Of Small Death And The Codeine Scene’,” opines their man Jon Dolan.
Following his triumphant performance of it two weeks ago on Saturday Night Live, ‘Take Me To Church’ has been selected to soundtrack the new Beats by Dre Presents: LeBron James commercial.
He also stopped by the other day to play two tunes on Los Angeles’ legendary KROQ radio station.
On this side of the Atlantic, voting for Hozier in the European Border Breakers Awards could win you a free trip to Groningen in Holland for January’s Jools Holland-hosted giving out of gongs. Scrawl your digital ‘X’ at [link]europeanborderbreakersawards.eu.en[/link]
