"Take Me to Church" evoked Florence and the Machine in my mind.

"Like Real People Do" made me think of Justin Vernon's voice.

To "Angel of Small Death & the Codeine Scene" I succumbed.

The name of this amazingly talented artist is Andrew Hozier-Byrne. He is Irish and the government should seriously consider including him and his marvelous voice to the Living National Treasure of the country. If there is none, they should start with him for sure!

Hozier's EP Take Me To Church was released in July, 2013 and it  was available for free at bandcamp. Now your options are a bit limited and you can listen to you on Spotify or on Hozier's website, or watch and listen to it below.
