Hozier’s Hero’s Welcome in L.A. Isn’t ‘Too Sweet’ — It’s Just Right for One of Rock’s Most Deserving Talents: Concert Review
In a stand at L.A.'s Forum, Hozier showed why he may be the best youngish rock star we have—extending to his celebrating his opener, Allison Russell.
It started off with “De Selby (Part 1),” a pretty ethereal song rooted in an obscure bit of fantastical European literature, with English eventually giving way to Irish-language lyrics, subtitled on the big screens on either side of the stage, before things became completely churchy and choral. Whether he’s playing acoustic or electric, fans can always be grateful for the big screens alongside the stage (vertical ones, perhaps in deflection to the TikTok generation) for providing handy glimpses of his phenomenally precise finger work. The singer Bedouine was his guest for all three nights at the Forum, coming out to recreate their duet on the new EP’s “That You Are.” But almost the entire 2024 has provided a chance for Hozier to celebrate his opening act, Allison Russell, who with him has been responsible for the year’s most potent ongoing double bill.
