Hozier Vinyl Records – Albums & Essential Releases on Vinyl

Hozier — Andrew Hozier-Byrne — arrived with "Take Me to Church" in 2013, and it was immediately clear this wasn't a one-trick debut. The voice is extraordinary — a deep, soulful instrument that draws from blues, gospel, folk, and Irish tradition simultaneously. The songwriting is literary and emotionally complex, and the production balances acoustic warmth with cinematic scale.

On vinyl, Hozier's music is transformed. That voice, already remarkable on any format, gains weight and intimacy on analogue. The guitar work is detailed and dynamic, and the arrangements — which build from sparse folk to full orchestral — sound richer and more layered through vinyl playback.

Best Hozier Albums on Vinyl

Hozier (2014) The debut album, anchored by "Take Me to Church" but far deeper than that single suggests. "From Eden," "Cherry Wine," "Work Song," and "Someone New" — blues-soaked folk with gospel intensity. The songwriting is remarkably assured for a first album.

Wasteland, Baby! (2019) Bigger and more ambitious. "Almost (Sweet Music)," "Movement," and "Nina Cried Power" — the production is more polished but the emotional core remains raw. The title track is one of his finest moments.

Unreal Unearth (2023) A concept album loosely based on Dante's Inferno — and it works. "Eat Your Young," "Francesca," "Unknown / Nth," and "De Selby" — darker, heavier, and more experimental than anything before it. The vinyl pressing sounds exceptional.
