Antony and the Johnsons

Label: Secretly Canadian
Genre: Folk, Jazz, Other

One of the nice things about a new job (note to self: update bio page) is all the new music you get to hear through your new co-workers. This week, as part of New Music Tuesdays, Andrew brought in Antony and the Johnsons' exquisite I Am a Bird Now. Antony has been tagged with the same "freak folk" moniker as his pal Devendra Banhart, though I'd call it the transexual blues and add that he sounds more like Nina Simone than Woody Guthrie.
