...according to our Brett on 26 March 2009.

Finally for Wednesday's lot the Antony and the Johnsons 'Epilepsy Is Dancing' single arrives after being delayed for bloody ages. Now I'm not usually one to enjoy listening to people whimpering in self pity. I used to be, believe me I used to listen to some seriously depressing stuff. I do like this a lot though, a man's soul laid bare. Love him or hate him you can't deny he puts everything into his music. I think he's one of the most soulful vocalists around. I remember hearing him for the first time on the radio and thinking it was one of the most soulful voices I'd heard in years and then was astonished when I found out he was white. Anyway this is a really moving piece of music. Before I take 400 valium and drink 7 bottles of Vodka I'll mention that the sleeve has a mashed up Pete Burns lookalike on the front being suffocated by geometry.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

The first single to be taken from Antony And the Johnsons’ long-awaited new album
‘The Crying Light’ is the spiralling waltz of ‘Epilepsy Is Dancing’.

‘Epilepsy Is Dancing’ follows the release of ‘The
Crying Light’ album in January and features the
exclusive ‘Where Is My Power’ on the B side.
· Early in 2009, Antony And The Johnsons will
embark on their first full UK tour since 2005.
· “a transformed sound still more beautiful. Joining him in
the shadows was breathtaking” – 5/5 Evening
Standard, “This latest reinvention means his own legend
is assured” – 4/5 The Guardian, “It’s a crushing,
mesmerising evening... a revelation” – The
Independent 5/5, “Another World’, a highlight of the
night, conjuring up the devastation of environmental
destruction as emotively as Cormac Mccarthy’s ‘The
Road’... a beautiful evening” – Daily Telegraph 4/5,
“It’s a beautifully wrought show. From Brian Wilson on,
pop musicians have periodically aspired to the emotional
clout and textural subtlety of art music and lieder; Hegarty
has got closer than most” – 4/5 The Times.
