I’ve immersed myself so deeply in Hannah Fury’s music recently that I’ve almost abandoned listening to other music for the time being, and my backlog of things to listen to or review isn’t getting any shorter, not least my top albums of 2006 which is stalled at No. 7. So, to pick one track of the day is now nigh impossible. As soon as I decide to write about one song, another one pops up to take its place, forming an almost unending thread of recommendations. Plus, I’m saving my best words of praise for another time.

You Don’t Leave A Trace was the first song from her new album Through The Gash that owned me: ultimate rejection delivered through delicate shimmering minimalism, in contrast to the piano pieces that dominated the early phase of her career. Her unrivaled ability to twist or change the mood of a song on a single note or measure is still present. You Don’t Leave A Trace changes entirely 220 seconds in and I can guarantee it will burst your heart.
