Antony Hegarty is a unique artist, and the new Antony & the Johnsons album 'The Crying Light', their third, is beautiful and fantastical. Antony's voice has both a fragility and an inner strength which ensures that the lyrical themes for which he's known do not frighten off the more casual listener. Indeed his willingness to open up his life to scrutiny via these seemingly intensely personal lyrics only draws in the more open listener.
It's an album filled with yearning, sparsely arranged with mostly piano based ballads, and one that may pass you by if you do not actually take the time to listen. Please do - it will repay your time.
