Hannah Fury

Since finding out about Hannah Fury via this amazing mix, I haven't been able to stop listening to her songs. It sounds like the ghosts of Kate Bush, Sufjan Stevens and Julee Cruise gathered together to record some music.

While her music really comes with a "goth-girl aesthetic"that's not to everyone's taste (certainly not to mine) there's something so magical about her voice, that vibrato she has which with several vocal layers sounds truly mesmeric.. And the lyrics of tracks like "Trapeze" and "Carousel" are so heartbreaking, in that distinctly autumnal way (although I know we are in winter now --gosh, who would believe it?).



My advice to listeners though -- don't watch the videos or look at the graphics unless you're a fan of this aesthetic (which I hope no one reading this blog is. No offence). The artwork for Subterfuge is pretty cool though, and it's probably my favourite album of hers.
