The follow-up to I Am a Bird Now shifts thematic focus and explores Antony's relationship with the natural world. The intimacy of the Johnsons' sound is enveloped by avant-classical composer Nico Muhly's symphonic arrangements. A soul stirring new work with daring compositions and captivating vocals. "This isn't a heart breaking; it's a heart waking" - The Oregonian.
Fronted by Antony Hegarty, this record draws upon the themes of landscape and future. Antony has been working on the album for the last two years, pausing to collaborate with Hercules & The Love Affair and Bjork, and tour the world with The Johnsons.
An intimate and moving album, 'The Crying Light' sees Antony reach new artistic heights, which will please fans and newcomers alike. The CD includes the tracks "Her Eyes Beneath the Ground" and first single, "Another World".
