Oh hell yes.....

Antony & The Johnsons - Another World EP

http://www.hidelinks.com/?0wwvyotyas

Image

With Antony’s inimitable voice, mesmerizing piano & intimate arrangements, the ‘Another World EP’ is a beautiful introduction to their new material. With highlights including ‘Another World’, which finds Antony singing of a disappearing world; ‘Shake that Devil’ showcases his bluesy wail and a driving vintage R&B beat that illustrates the lyrics’ ferocity; and the epic ‘Hope Mountain’, which features an episodic narrative set after a flood, as people gather on a mountain to witness the emergence of a luminous girl.).

1. Another World
2. Crackagen
3. Shake That Devil
4. Sing For Me
5. Hope Mountain

Antony has more talent in his eyelashes than in all of your throwaway singer-songwriter shit combined.

Them's some loooong girly eyelashes though.



Curious about this. I like the suggestion he's toying around with R&B, because "Fistful of Love" really stood out on that last reckid - it's sorta what Roxy Music would sound like if Bryan Ferry had soul.

I appreciate Antony but I totally thought he sounded like a muppet...
until Hercules and Love Affair where he sounds amazing.
so I am willing to give him another shot.

he doesn't sound any different on H&LA than on his solo albums.

That last album was a hell of a grower.

I can't decide if you guys are fucking with me or not

the epic ‘Hope Mountain’, which features an episodic narrative set after a flood, as people gather on a mountain to witness the emergence of a luminous girl.)



I'm sorry but this has ting ting la la and the magical chopstick band written all over it


dude is wearing Kabuki makeup and apparently my grandmother's shawl for christsakes, wtf


also, the comparison of his singing to a Muppet is not helping me want to listen to this, even out of morbid curiosity

The cover is a photograph of Japanese Butoh performer Kazuo Ohno, taken by Pierre-Olivier Deschamps in 1984.
