Reviews"The intimacy of the Johnson's sound is intensified by golden-boy avant-classical composer Nico Muhly's arrangements. Each song feels like one in a string of tellurian secrets.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "The album's centrepiece, 'Another World,' has already garnered praise for its dystopian vision, casting Hegarty as ghostly eco-prophet...", Ranked #18 in Spin's "40 Best Albums Of 2009" -- "Hegarty seeks transcendence in tortured extremes...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "The burlesque bard has stripped bare, revealing new, more wayward routes to the tender transcendence that is his most potent calling card.", 3 Stars Out of 5 -- "Antony Is an Original, with a Dark Vision That Never Skimps on Beauty.", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "The album's opening note, quivering and clinging like a spider in a wind-buffeted web, could send an unprepared listener to the brink of tears.", "Moody orchestral pieces teeming with epic string arrangements, Bacharach-inspired piano plunking and Hegarty's vulnerable vibrato seep from such masterpieces as 'Daylight And The Sun.'", 4 stars out of 5 -- "With an orchestra replacing many of the starker piano passages found on BIRD, it's a softer Antony, but his devastating voice remains to the fore....Beautifully, and with a sense of keen economy, Antony Hegarty thankfully renders you speechless."
Additional InformationTHE CRYING LIGHT is a heartrending journey through human need, desire, transformation, and our confrontation with loneliness and death.
Antony came to my attention on The Raven by Lou Reed . Took a chance on this cd and liked it. The voice is different . Either to your taste or irritating.
