Antony and the Johnsons - The Crying Light

To say that Antony and the Johnsons is an acquired taste is simply an understatement. Musically, the band crafts sweeping and beautiful piano-driven and burlesque songs of agony and self-realization. Vocally, however, many would find Antony and his Johnsons to be distasteful, for lack of a better word. Chalk one up to generational gaps, singer Antony Hegarty's intense vibrato belongs with the likes of Fred Astaire and Ryan Gosling [in his rendition of L.O.V.E. in his film Lars and the Real Girl].

You won't find radio-friendly pop songs on this record, but instead the soundtrack to some beautiful film that has yet to be made.
