10 Cool Things You Didn't Know About Hozier

6. He Already Wants To Move Away From His Current Style

The self-titled album has a few different sounds on it, ranging from the brighter sounds of Someone New and Jackie and Wilson to the darker minor keys of To Be Alone and Angel Of Small Death. Hozier's admitted to never wanting to chase a pretty melody, finding them harder to produce and to find something to like in them. He speaks with similar distance about the "almost shamelessly romantic" songs on the album. "I probably hope to move away from that a little bit in the future," he says. "And I think a lot of my songs have been about relationships, which has to do with being a young man and coming away from my first experience of having a relationship. I'd never experienced being in love and being loved before."

I love Stephen King and music festivals; I eat my toast upside down; I daydream about getting married probably a bit too much; and I wish every day for a pet sausage dog puppy (who never materialises – sob).
