Description:
'I Am A Bird Now', is the second full-length album from extraordinary New York artist, ANTONY & THE JOHNSONS, and features contributions from both Antony's peers (RUFUS WAINWRIGHT, DEVENDRA BANHARDT) and heroes (LOU REED, BOY GEORGE). Their involvement reflects both their admiration for Antony, and his unique place in the contemporary arts community.

Antony was recently in Australia to perform at the LEONARD COHEN tribute nights at the Sydney Opera House. BERNARD ZUEL reported in the SYDNEY MORNING HERALD: "And in the category of "where the hell has he been hiding?" was the hulking, shambling figure of New York singer Antony, who left open mouths on and off the stage with his heart-piercing explorations of "The Guests" and the prayer-like "If It Be Your Will".

The reacton from the audience on each night was astounding, they were simply transfixed by his vocal delivery and performance.

'I Am A Bird Now' is going to be 2005's left-field hit record. Antony's gospel songs come from another world.
