Antony and the Johnsons - Cut The World - Premiere

We're so excited! The amazing Antony and the Johnsons drop their collection of live symphonic performances of songs from the band's 4 full length albums tomorrow. Cut The World is recorded in Copenhagen with the Danish National Chamber Orchestra. Also, this marks the first time the title track, a live favourite, has been made available in a professional recording. Happy days! It's one of Antony's new songs for The Life and Death of Marina Abramovi - a performance biography of the godmother of performance art, re-imagined by visionary director Robert Wilson and starring Antony along with Marina herself and Willem Dafoe. Only Antony Hegarty could make dark lyrics like these so enjoyable to listen to. From what we've heard so far of the album it's incredible and tracks like the legendary I Fell In Love With A Dead Boy and iconic You Are My Sister are given whole new atmospheres to breathe and grow in. So amazing. Listen to Cut The World and the spoken word Future Feminism below! Further listening here! Enjoy! 

Update: Here's the just released video! In the description it says; This video may not be suitable for all audiences. Viewer discretion is advised. And they sure are right! Starring Willem Dafoe it paints a scene when the matriarchal uproar starts in an every day sitiuation. WOW.
