The Crying Light
“On The Crying Light, Antony Hegarty remains fascinated with the transitions and overlaps between birth and life, life and death, this world and the next, but he expresses them in more universal, more direct, but no less rapturous terms than he did on his New York-tinted breakthrough I Am a Bird Now.”
I Am a Bird Now
“The 1974 photo of Andy Warhol superstar Candy Darling on the cover of Antony and the Johnsons' second full length, *I Am a Bird Now*, is the perfect complement to the ghostly hymnals that flit and sigh behind its black and white shadows. A melancholy but arrestingly beautiful image, it depicts Darling on her deathbed; bright flowers float behind her upturned arm like a cluster of soft, pale moons ”
Cut the World
“This live album, which boasts a new song in the form of the title track, draws from all of Antony's studio albums. The renditions of that back catalog are rendered so powerfully by the Danish National Chamber Orchestra that the originals seem almost incomplete by comparison.”
