Swanlights

ANTONY & THE JOHNSONS Swanlights (2010 UK 11-track CD album - While 'I Am a Bird Now' is compelling in its vulnerability and 'The Crying Light' is a masterpiece of austerity, 'Swanlights' may be Antony's most wide-rangingly emotional work to date. It is a record that is at moments heartbreakingly tender, and at other times has a joyful gleam to its teeth. Unlike previous work, which was often quite sparsely voiced, on 'Swanlights' the vines in the garden are overgrown and the sound palette has become more exotic; strange percussive elements, John Cale-esque string drones, heavily distorted guitars and symphonic winds and strings thread the song cycle together. Includes the single 'Thank You For Your Love' plus 'Flétta', Antony's duet with BJORK)
