Hozier gave New York City commuters a surprise on Wednesday evening by busking at a subway station and playing songs from his new album Wasteland, Baby!

The musician performed with his guitar, a keyboard player and a group of backing singers at the city's Rockefeller Centre subway station, and a crowd quickly formed to soak it all in as he opened the impromptu performance with his smash hit Take Me To Church.

Hozier shared videos to his Instagram and Twitter of him performing Almost (Sweet Music), one of the first singles from his second album, which was released last Friday.

"Dropped in on some New Yorkers’ commute home tonight for a quick subway session," he captioned the video.

He also posted more videos to his Instagram story, with performances of Nina Cried Power and Movement also featuring.
