Antony and the Johnsons
I Am a Bird Now
A friend of mine just hipped me to Antony and the Johnsons' newest release I Am a Bird Now. One word: wow. This guy's voice was made for the cabaret-esque scene. It's like Nina Simone met Hedwig (from the Angry Inch fame) chock-full-o angst and raw emotion. For those of you who like cabaret (ahem*come see Kiki & Herb this Saturday*ahem), you'll love this CD, especially with guests including Lou Reed, Rufus Wainwright, Boy George and Devandra Banhart. Pitchfork Media agrees. What do you think?
I think you are correct. Antony and the Johnsons is music that is very good music to listen to.
