Antony and the Johnson’s newest LP is musically not too dissimilar from 2005′s I Am a Bird Now – greeting the listener with sparse and lovely instrumentation and Antony Hegarty’s uniquely soul-shaking voice – but the lyrical focus has shifted from Hegarty’s inner-self to the natural world, without losing the massive emotional weight of his previous work, particularly on medatative album highlights like “Her Eyes Are Underneath the Ground” and the deathbed ballad “Another World”.
