Hannah Fury

Hannah Fury has been called a "parasol-wielding OutKast" (The Mick) and her music has been described as "unnerving yet simultaneously beautiful" (Pop Matters), "sensitive and imaginative, uniquely vengeful and confiding" (Wears the Trousers) and "beautifully warped" (The Big Takeover). Hannah says she hopes her music sounds like "a carousel in deep, warped space or a carnival under water -- something dense and ferocious with thin, shimmery tendrils shooting out from it in all directions." Hannah has been writing music since her second year of high school and also began teaching herself to play piano during that time. She continued to write for several years before building a studio and recording her debut EP, Soul Poison (1998). Since then, Hannah's output has been erratic in quantity but consistent in quality. ...show more

Hannah says she hopes her music sounds like "a carousel in deep, warped space or a carnival under water -- something dense and ferocious with thin, shimmery tendrils shooting out from it in all directions." Hannah has been writing music since her second year of high school and also began teaching herself to play piano during that time. She continued to write for several years before building a studio and recording her debut EP, Soul Poison (1998). Since then, Hannah's output has been erratic in quantity but consistent in quality.

She has released two full-length albums as well as a handful of singles and EPs, all receiving high praise from the music press. Hannah's now-out-of-print album The Thing That Feels (2000) featured several songs inspired by Gregory Maguire's novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West. (Pre-dating the Broadway musical by several years.) The Thing That Feels also included "The Vampire Waltz," which is the first song Hannah ever wrote, as well as other songs all linked by the theme revealed in the title. A few years later, as a result of a generous donation by an anonymous listener, Hannah made a video for her song "Carnival Justice (The Gloves Are Off) Part II." The video, directed by Chris Ohlson, featured puppets created by renowned Ohio artist, puppetmaster and sculptor Scott Radke.

The video appeared on the Subterfuge EP (2005). Hannah's covers of other artists' songs have also been well-received. The Meathook EP (2001) featured what one reviewer called a "soul-shredded" version of ABBA's "The Winner Takes It All," as well as Hannah's versions of Berlin's "The Metro" and Daniel Johnston's "True Love WIll Find You in the End." Hannah also collaborated with The Synthetic Dream Foundation to create "Trapeze" -- the music was composed by TSDF, with vocals, lyrics and vocal melody by Hannah. Hannah's most recent release is Through the Gash (2007), an album that has been called "a masterwork in minimalism and stark beauty" (Absolute Punk) and "seductive and breathtaking from the start" (Gothic Beauty). ...show less
