Music: Rock/Pop Antony & the Johnsons w/ the LA Philharmonic

  • 231164040_l_large

No disrespect to lovers of the old Decca 45s, but some acts demand to be heard in full stereophonic glory. Antony Hegarty's intimate, late-night-confessional voice gets its classical close-up this fall with a bicoastal string of philharmonic-accompanied sets. Lush orchestration fills out songs from his band's latest EP, Another World, the group's first release since the critically acclaimed I Am a Bird Now. The EP, which whets fans' appetites for forthcoming full-length The Crying Light, features several rare recordings, including the environmentally conscious title track and the blues-soaked "Crackagen," one of the first songs Antony ever wrote.
