Hozier has scored yet another Irish number 1 with his highly anticipated third studio album Unreal Unearth. Released last Friday August 18th to incredible reviews, the latest album from the Wicklow superstar has outsold the entire top 5 albums combined in this week’s chart to score the #1 spot in Ireland. The Irish superstar cements himself as one of the greatest songwriters in his field with a record that has spawned world class tracks in “Eat Your Young,” “All Things End,” “Francesca” & “De Selby (Part 2)”.
Hozier says “It’s a special feeling to receive this kind of support in your home country. Massive thank you to everyone in Ireland for all the love and support shown to Unreal Unearth! News of this number 1 has me absolutely thrilled.”
Using Dante’s Inferno and the 9 circles of hell as a loose structure, the 16-track LP follows a captivating thematic arc informed by the turbulence of the world and the fight for a better and brighter tomorrow. Unreal Unearth, featuring 11 brand new songs including “Damage Gets Done” with Brandi Carlile, traces a provocative, poetic, and powerful roadmap back into the light.
Unreal Unearth is the third studio album from Hozier and follows the multi-platinum selling, #1 albums Hozier (2014) and Wasteland, Baby (2019).
With over 1 million tickets sold worldwide, and recently wrapping a sold out European, UK and US tours, he will bring his massive international ‘Unreal Unearth Tour’ back to Europe in December, which will see him conquer arenas, including London’s OVO Arena Wembley, and x3 sold out shows in Dublin’s 3Arena. The North American leg of Hozier’s ‘Unreal Unearth Tour’ begins on September 9 in St. Louis, MO with Madison Cunningham joining as special guest across all dates. Hozier will perform 28 sold-out shows across 25 cities, including Madison Square Garden in New York and Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, marking his largest headline run in the U.S. and Canada to date.
Today marks the start of yet another exciting chapter in the Irish songwriter’s esteemed career.
