A 10/10 perfect DEBUT album that is dark, raw, and has it's fair share of hot and sweaty Hozier will open your mind to undead love (Literally), toxic situationships, and escaping the Catholic Church. Self titled is for the lovers*, indie escapists, and existential dreaders out there, and I know you're out there, so why not lose your mind to something with deep lyrics instead of bad vocals? *If you choose to take Cherry Wine as a romantic song, I am not held liable to the bodily harm, biological warfare, or death that is caused by your actions.

@ELLIE_CARPENTER I love Hozier, love his self titled and Unreal Unearth. And Wasteland, Baby! released at such a formative time in my life, it’s so so important to me. It’s one of my favourite albums, a comfort album for me, title song too. helps my existential dread along to maybe reach some existential contemplation, then existential acceptance y’know also agreed with *everything* you said also also, justice for Swan Upon Leda and Jackboot Jump *and Better Love*

"Why would you make out of words a cage for your own bird? When it sings so sweet The screaming, heaving fuckery of the world?" the crooner's sophomore outing, finding beauty and hope amidst the end of the world loved unreal unearth, loved the debut. but if you ask me, this is his strongest album. there's something about the imagery invoked in this album that is so specific, but feels so unique to him. that underwater cover art kinda encompasses that; normally when we think of wastelands, its just dry nothingness for miles. but this feels very "noah's ark flood" end of the world. the calm before the storm, the storm, and the aftermath the VOCALS on this thing go apeshit btw this also just has some of my favorite songs of his. MOVEMENT is criminally slept on. shrike is so bittersweet and beautiful. dinner & diatribes and almost (sweet music) are absolute jams. talk...? TALK?!! jesus christ. i can't listen to the title track without weeping. there's such a melancholy that almost makes me sick but it's like...the hug you'd want from a loved one as the world caves in good time😃! emotional damage😃! have fun😃!
