The album features Hozier writing and singing lyrics in the Irish language for the first time. A separate three song EP was issued in advance of Unreal Earth, to celebrate (respectively) the singer's birthday, St. Patrick's Day, the ten-year anniversary of his debut, and to tease the (then upcoming) release of the LP.
