Album review: Unreal Unearth is Hozier's finest record yet and has breathtaking moments

He has moved on confidently from the head-spinning success of his early hit, Take Me To Church

Hozier performing at the V Festival in Britain.

★★★★☆

During the pandemic, Ireland saw the best and worst of Hozier. He delivered a stunning rendition of the Parting Glass on the Late Late Show – a reading that was both a lament for those who lost in the preceding months, but one also invested with hope, humanity and defiance.
