Antony and the Johnsons

[Adrian22]

I've not seen this singer-songwriter/band mentioned before, so, here goes!

NYC's Antony and the Johnsons have just released a second album, "I am a Bird Now", and it's likely to introduce their sound to a deservedly larger audience.

People compare Antony's voice to a diverse range of singers, but, it's best to just listen. To do that, here's a few mp3 links - good for however long they remain active:

Here's a song off Antony's last disc:
