The second single from the full-length The Crying Light is one of the reasons Spin is raving that the band's new material is 'scarily intimate and irresistibly beautiful'. The B-side 'Where Is My Power' burns slowly throughout, hinting at its epic climax anchored by what Rolling Stone has called 'a voice of singular majesty, an instrument of delicacy and rapture in which Nina Simone, Morrissey, and Joni Mitchell seem to inhabit the same breath'.

The follow-up to I Am a Bird Now shifts thematic focus and explores Antony's relationship with the natural world. The intimacy of the Johnsons' sound is enveloped by avant-classical composer Nico Muhly's symphonic arrangements. A soul stirring new work with daring compositions and captivating vocals.

Antony & the Johnsons is a reissue of the group's debut album, which was originally released in 1998 on the London-based label Durtro, which is r   [ read more ]

Insound Staff Pick - 2008! #25 Seller of 2005! There is a myth that great artists operate in seclusion. Hogwash. One need look no further than to the ten songs of Antony and the Johnsons' new album, I Am A Bird Now, to realize this is an utter fallacy. To be sure, with his androgynous features, the singularly named Antony is an original. Have you ever heard a voice like this, imbued with the transcendental emotion of the blues, yet deployed with an unadorned simplicity reminiscent of medieval    [ read more ]

Two of the three songs are previously unreleased outtakes from the I Am A Bird Now sessions.
