Episode 23: Hozier's "Nina Cried Power - EP"

It's not the waking, it's the rising. Our favorite fae prince turned folk singer has returned to us at last, and in his wake comes a sound that fits with the moment we're in, and, oh boy, do we feel some kind of way about it. Talking points: the four genres of Hozier songs; a microcosm of a vibe; protest as process, not just an event; Andrew Hozier-Bryne is the only person allowed to at us about this show; apocalyptic love and the interplay of rage and hope; the space been initiation and consummation; when an artist's standards for himself make you forget just how good he really is; and, hey, it's gonna be okay, robots.
