AND THE JOHNSONS

Antony and the Johnsons are the band well-rated by David Tibet
and featured on his Durtro label. Frontman Antony was born in the
UK although he was brought up in California and now lives in New York.
The ensemble will be joining Current 93 on their April dates at the Bloomsbury
Theatre.
This three-track CD starts off with the title track which is quite uplifting.
It brings to mind something recent by Moby. Antony's voice is very
powerful and could be put in the same category as someone like David
McCalmont. There is certainly great depth to this voice and it is
aided by a lot of piano, also provided by Antony. You could well imagine
him sneaking into the mainstream just like Marc Almond managed
all those years ago. 'Mysteries of love' is a Lynch, Badalamenti composition
which was originally done by Julee Cruise. It's quite a slow dark
track as is the third and final one which is a cover of Current 93's 'Soft
Black Stars'.
