Unheard is the seventh extended play (EP) by Irish musician Hozier. It was released on 22 March 2024 by Rubyworks Records and Columbia Records.[1] It consists of four previously unreleased songs that were recorded for Hozier's third studio album Unreal Unearth (2023), but did not make the final track listing.[2] Of the unreleased material, Hozier said in a statement that the four songs "might've made it to the circles of gluttony, limbo, violence and the outward 'ascent'", referring to Dante's Inferno, which was the inspiration for Unreal Unearth, but they did not appear on the album "for different reasons".[3]
