haven't heard the new one, but i go back and forth on antony -- sometimes it sounds like the most amazing music in the world, sometimes i can't stand it. guess it isn't very good for "casual" listening.

I think this is accurate. something like I Am A Bird Now, which I think is a great record, falls into that category of stuff that I think is great but can't just put on whenever because it's way too heavy

Played Swanlights streaming on NPR at work and was like "ehhhhh" but I wasn't in any sort of ideal setting to be listening to it so I will stfu now.

i admire his music more than i like it, but his turn on blind is remarkable. he should put his voice to that type of material more often imo.

I thought I read--probably on P4k--that Antony's not even on the next Hercules and Love Affair record that's supposed to be coming out early next year

not surprising, is it? he was just a "featured performer." in other words, a one-shot deal.

I wasn't sure what his relationship with the band was, tbh

heard antony's cover of "pressing on" by bob dylan recently -- stunning stuff.

Antony's take on OPN's "Returnal" was a brilliant promise but, wow, ANOHNI is one horribly awkward choice for a project name.

really psyched for this

I do keep starting it up and catching my brain expecting to hear the Night of the Demon sample from "Hounds of Love" after that opening drum hit though

I know I wrote at least one (album review-disguised as) show preview, but can't find it---here's something from 2013 Pazz & Jop comments:
Avicii ft. Linnea Henricksson---"Hope There's Someone" is written by Antony Hegarty, and totally fits that credit, though Spin's Philip Sherburne says she (talent show winner) "affects a Bjork-like hush", but does B. hold-extend-bend notes like this? Anyway, works like Hegarty's usual aural curves, which she rides with her own sense of dynamics

I know in the review/preview I indicated that I thought he had a better voice than Bryan Ferry (somewhat similar but with a better vibrato, seemed like)

I heard his album and a friend's house and I said "Is this the new Tracy Chapman?"
