Antony Hegarty is one of the best male vocalists of our era. No joke.

Beautiful. Even in my my most dissonant noise phases I can always throw on an Antony record. He's truly gotten better throughout his career.

Some tremendously affecting lines. "I accept and I collect upon my body the memories of your devotion." I've owned I Am a Bird Now for years. I have The Crying Light on my hard drive but have yet to give it a full listen.

Ive had it on my drive too and couldnt get through 2 songs without putting a switchblade to my wrists. I had it on my ipod for a day and let me tell you, that shit is a downer when working out.

Of course it can be a downer, depending partly on your preexisting mood. But that hardly counts as a criticism, does it?
