Ep. 19 Hozier

Kiara Gets Drunk and Talks About Music

“Blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine.” In Episode 19 Kiara comes to you live from quarantine to rave about one of her favourite albums, Hozier (2014) the self-titled debut from – you guessed it! - Hozier. In this episode Kiara shares her thoughts on this cross-genre collection of tracks, recounting how the album resonated with her at a key time in her life and why she continues to return to it; as well as exploring the darker subjects embedded in several songs, including the critique on Russia’s anti-LGBTQ+ laws and the terror of domestic abuse. And after tossing back a few Cherry Fizz cocktails, we also learn of Kiara’s crush on the Irish singer-songwriter, her decision to fly solo at his concert, her favourite song EVER, and her LCBO meet-cute’s (not really).
