I saw this band on the Jools Holland show last night and I really enjoyed their unusual mix of sounds. This is the video for their single Take Me To Church and it has a very powerful and disturbing story – I encourage you to watch it but you may find some of it distressing, however I think the lyrics combined with the images of the video make this an important piece of work.
You can find out more about the meaning behind the video and about Hozier in general by checking out this great Guardian Interview.
The World Outside the Window 
Oh that was gruelling, I wish I hadn’t watched it. Dreadful that the world holds such hate.

It was a difficult view, hence I thought I would put a little warning at the start. I almost couldn’t watch it all, but tragically these things are happening and if we challenge them by accepting their reality I think that’s one way we have of putting a stop to bigots.. Hope it wasn’t too bad for you… x

Actually I am glad I watched it now as it has continued to make me think. In parts it was beautiful and tender but the extreme hate I find hard to watch.

I agree, beautiful in places juxtaposed savagely with pure hatred. Powerful stuff…
