Antony of Antony and the Johnsons pres-ents his debut collection of visual art, thought-provoking dreamscapes composed of paintings, drawings, photogra-phy, collage, song lyrics, and writings. Often fragmentary images, these pieces capture liminal states and elements of the unconscious. Some images are reclaimed and reconfigured in order to transcend their previous form. The intersecting mediums inform each other and create an interesting dialogue with Antony's music, his creative muse, and personal...

Antony & the Johnsons have put together an elaborate assortment of artsy, sweet, and odd songs on their debut album. Antony's voice is a stunning musical instrument, sounding as feminine as it does masculine. Occasionally, he pulls out all the stops and affects a successful, soaring vocal style. The atmosphere of the album is dark yet somehow uplifting. The music, mostly slow, quiet jazz, played on a piano, harp, cello, flute, clarinets, saxophone, violins, and drums (in addition to some guitar work...

During the mid 90s Antony started solo; after originally producing songs with Blacklips Performance Cult and other late-night cabarets he had a number of songs to work with. In 1995 he assembled a backing group—the self-styled Antony and the Johnsons—and began to focus on the musical side of his performances. The group built up a cult following at hip New York clubs such as the Kitchen and Knitting Factory. Antony then received a NYFA for “performance art/emergent forms” which he used to record the...

The Crying Light is another heartbreakingly beautiful record from Antony Hegarty, at once complementary with his most recent full-length, 2005’s stupendous I Am a Bird Now , and wholly independent in its own right. The same unaffected vulnerability is there, and Antony again explores the topics of death and his fascination with the natural world, but this album is an even more subdued affair, its tone starkly contrasted from the downtown Manhattan aesthetic of Bird . Don’t mistake subdued for stripped...

Since the release of his 2004 sophomore effort 'I Am Bird Now' Antony's profile has sky rocketed worldwide. Now you can immerse yourself in Antony's wonderous world of where it all began, the genesis of an exceptional talent. 'Antony & The Johnsons' is a re issue of the group's debut album, which was originally released in 1998 on the London based label Durtro.

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 music practice, and graced with a top note of childlike...

A CD of multitracked cello and found sounds, inspired by airports, by transitoriness, and by the private emotional worlds that we create amid the disorientations and disjunctions of travel. For lovers of neo-contemporary music mixed with Ambient elements.

Now the unconventional performer is set to star in Swanlights, a one-night-only "meditation on light, nature, and femininity" at New York’s Radio City Music Hall. Antony and the Johnsons will perform songs from all four albums on January 26, accompanied by a 60-piece orchestra. A new commission by MoMA curator and PS1 director Klaus Biesenbach, Swanlights is shaping up to be a highlight of the winter season. "Antony's tremendous talents are brought together in spectacular performances," he said,...

Issued as a precursor to Antony and the Johnsons ' Swanlights , Thank You for Your Love contains five tracks -- the title cut is taken from the album; "My Lord, My Love," was issued as a bonus on The Crying Light ; and there are a pair of surprising covers. The title is the thematic track the EP hinges on. Antony Hegarty's longing has always been at the heart of his arresting, courageous, yet vulnerable voice. On this track, however, in a relaxed, easy, flowing manner, backed by a host of downtown...
