Antony and the Johnsons

Description

An atypical group embodied by the voice and charisma of Antony Hegarty, Antony & the Johnsons will dynamite pop by imposing a melancholy of rare intensity. Supported by stripped-down compositions and the singer's vocal power, the tracks of this debut album will stand out for the urgency and luxurious depression that emanates from this masterpiece. The atmospheric melodies of this opus crash against the impressive vocalizations of a tortured leader, outlining the DNA of a band that will reach its peak with the release of I Am a Bird now. - ("excerpt from the Discothèque Idéale Fnac guide")
