Above: That’s the video for Hozier‘s title track “Take Me to Church” from the Irish soul-blues singer’s first EP. He recently released an EP titled “From Eden,” and he’ll be supporting the new collection of songs by stopping by the Troubadour on Tuesday night.
Our staff picks of the week:
@KRBronson recommends: Colorado-based singer-songwriter Nathaniel Rateliff brings the literate, starkly beautiful songs off his new album “Falling Faster Than You Can Run” to the Echo on Thursday for a tasty night of Americana that also features the Wild Reeds and Carly Ritter. [See “Still Trying.”]
@Seraphina_LÂ recommends: Lykke Li does a second show in L.A. on Monday night at the Ace Hotel in support of her latest album “I Never Learn.” If you got tickets, you’re one of the lucky ones. With the Swedish singer-songwriter’s new songs in tow, emotions will be heightened.
