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.

Antony and the Johnsons - Live @ Radio City Music Hall

Last Thursday saw Antony and the Johnsons staging their one-off performance event Swanlights at the Radio City Music Hall - as commissioned by MoMA. Just looking at these fan videos made us teary-eyed. So incredibly beautiful. Envisioned as a meditation on light, nature, and femininity they were backed by a 60-piece symphony orchestra and heavenly light and set design. In the first clip Antony speaks to MoMA PS1 Director Klaus Biesenbach and we love A's sharp intellect, not to mention all that talent in abundance. It's hard to fathom the shyness, just the idea of that amazing voice being heard only by Antony on the bank of the Hudson river is mind-bending. Wow. The tribute to Marsha P Johnson and all the other heroes is just spot on, and by doing so it automatically pays it forward too. Amazing! Watch the interview + Salt Silver Oxygen, Crazy In Love, I Fell In Love With A Dead Boy, & Swanlights below!
