Antony and the Johnsons have just released a trailer for the title track from their forthcoming EP ‘Another World’ (October 7, 2008 Secretly Canadian).
On ‘Another World’, Antony lists things he treasures about the natural world, and expresses that he will miss them; the result is hypnotic and affecting, with the accompanying video reflecting the song’s theme.
Antony and the Johnsons emerged onto the international stage in 2005 with their breakthrough ‘I Am A Bird Now’. The group were awarded the Mercury Prize in the UK and toured the world.
Since then Antony has collaborated on tracks with Bjork for her latest album ‘Volta’, appeared in the Leonard Cohen documentary I’m Your Man, featured as vocalist with Hercules and Love Affair, recorded for the Todd Haynes bio epic of Bob Dylan I’m Not There, and collaborated with Charles Atlas on a European tour of their stage spectacle Turning.
Now Antony and the Johnsons have emerged with a new album, ‘The Crying Light’, which will be released January 2009. “Another World” is the first single, and it will be released as part of the five-song ‘Another World’ EP.
The EP ‘Another World’ also includes “Shake That Devil”. Part exorcism and part Shangri La, Antony calls out perpetrators, and banishes them one by one.
Two other songs, “Crackagen” and “Sing For Me” are pastoral and surreal. Finally the epic “Hope Mountain” closes the EP; an episodic narrative set after a flood; people gather on a mountainside to witness a girl walking on the water.
Another World Tracklist:
1. Another World
2. Crackagen
3. Shake That Devil
