Antony and the Johnsons - The Crying Light


I had seen Antony sing in the brilliant documentary on Leonard Cohen, I'm Your Man. He was with his band, The Johnsons, and I remember thinking, 'WHO IS THAT?' He had this jittery gait, an angels voice, and the sound coming from him was raw, sweet, ethereal and achingly vulnerable.

His new album - The Crying Light - just debuted at #1 in Europe. Terri Gross recently interviewed him on Fresh Air.

You must listen and check out his music. It's arresting. He's a very unique soul.
