Releasing two EPs so far, Hozier comforting sings ballads and R & B sound stories that, although very different landscapes set against the ropes charged ditty standards expected of the small nation of the UK, however, still pass the popular topics family inheritance , hard - fought love, and changing times found in traditional Irish songs .

His progressive approach to popular music is most evident in the music video for their song “Take Me To Church “(below), who engages in an extremely visceral conversation about homosexuality.

Still, songs like "Angel of Death and Codeine Small Science”, with applause and oohs and ahs fainting can feel very traditional; an indicator that makes Hozier done a brilliant job of bridging the gap between old and new generations.

Saturday: Cloud Control



Australian psych rock group Cloud Control creates quite the colorful musical canvas.

Large, dark lines ethereal beats, (reads lines coarse rock bass) create linear motion through another type splash bright tenor vocals, synth melodies and sunny happy chorus.

Their second full-length album Dream Cave is aptly named track where every nugget contains a song boat - in-the- bottle wonder. Or in other words, the songs are an extensive trip despite its relatively short existence of only a few minutes.

See what all that means in the very French video - for the song “Rising Dojo “.
