Though rings of hell vary, we all travel through as a form of learning. There is very little understanding gained if we aren\u2019t faced with uncertainty or with loss or with decay; or, frankly, with death. Thom Sonny Green of Alt-J is in touch with his heights because he\u2019s faced-off with his depths. Amongst his antagonisms, his own physical well-being \u2014 diagnosed with Alport Syndrome at the age of 12, by then having lost a majority of his hearing and signaling the need for a kidney transplant \u2014 a cause for many to question their very journey, let alone architect a purpose. Thom cannot teach you what he\u2019s learned, yet, as is the case with best of teachers, he chooses to candidly reviews his times, his trials and his continual triumphs. Most things, we can\u2019t truly know \u2018til we get there; however, getting a firm dose of relativity never hurts.
