Whilst listening through A Piano: The Collection last year I came to three conclusions:

1. It’s remarkable that some people can create such incredible and varied music from the same notes;
2. It’s remarkable that humans respond to the arrangement of these notes – why don’t fish dance?
3. There’s got to be something “else” that’s given music to us, both as listeners and creators.

I discovered Hannah Fury yesterday afternoon, through one of my neighbours on Last.fm, and I listened to her 2000 debut album The Thing That Feels. It’s been twenty years since I discovered Throwing Muses – their debut shattered me completely. Throughout the years I’ve often wondered if any other music could make me feel the same way.

The Thing That Feels does. It destroys me.
