Antony & The Johnsons - The Crying Light


New York oddity follows up his morbid debut with an equally dark tale of baroque woe. I can hardly describe it any better than this allmusic.com review: "Musically, the softness and restrained textural lushness — always propelled by the intimate, mysterious, exploring piano of Hegarty — is highlighted by his voice that bears the traces of every heartbreak ever confessed, every quiet yet desperate hope ever held, and each prayer whispered to an unknown and unknowable God." (4 of 5 stars)
