Review

Hozier’s "Unreal Unearth: Unending" unravels a new chapter for fans, offering a delightful feast of music. Released on December 6, 2024, the deluxe edition expands on the 2023 album "Unreal Unearth," and serves as a fascinating glimpse into Hozier's creative process. While the collection features the original 16 tracks that weave inspiration from Dante's "Inferno" and Flann O'Brien's "The Third Policeman," it’s the additional material that resonates like hidden chapters unearthed in an old library. Songs like "Eat Your Young," "Francesca," and "All Things End" showcase his talent for drawing raw emotion from life’s complexities.

Adding an extra layer to the narrative, the deluxe version boasts 10 additional tracks that were originally left on the cutting room floor. Fan favorites include, "Too Sweet" and previously unreleased gems like "Hymn To Virgil." These additions enrich the sonic experience, with tracks like "Wildflower and Barley" featuring Allison Russell, expanding on themes reminiscent of Dante's poetic journey. What stands out is the seamless fusion of Hozier's distinct voice and the varied influences that blossom throughout. Collaborations with Brandi Carlile and Bedouine add yet another dimension, much like discovering a thrilling subplot hidden in a novel. Through grand production and haunting instrumentation, this album is like reading a timeworn book that manages to touch both heart and spirit. - Josh
