Hozier 'Movement'

In 2019, Hozier's second, much anticipated full-length record "Wasteland, Baby!" peaked at #1 in the Billboard Top 200, Billboard Top Alternative Albums, Billboard US Folk Albums, and Billboard US Top Rock Albums.

For his second full-length record, Hozier once again called on the immense talent of world-renowned mixing engineer Andrew Scheps, who famously mixed Hozier's first chart-topping single "Take Me To Church" in 2014.

In this Puremix exclusive, Andrew pulls up his mixing session of the album's second single, "Movement." He breaks down his approach to the intricate arrangement, unique percussive elements, and powerful song climax, showing you how he mixed the chart-topping single.
