OK, I apologise to everybody reading for posting off topic, especially in a thread which has so few posts as it is, but Dejan, how on earth can you like such beautiful music such as Arcade Fire and Antony & The Johnsons when you clearly have so many anger issues? I think it is good that those bands can clearly appeal to the savage as well as the intellectuals and the serene, but I can't help but wonder what it is exactly that you take from these bands.

 

Once again, apologies for posting off topic and I will leave it at that.

 

^That may be one of the best things I've read on here for a while.

 

Anywho more information on the band and the upcoming release can be found on the Secretly Canadian website. They have some good artists on their label although I don't think many are actually Canadian.

Cheers for the link.

 

I really like The Spirit Was Gone and Salt Silver Oxygen. Beautiful.

It seems like for this album he's moved away from the more structured song-writing of The Crying Light to a bit more ambience for the majority of this piece of work, and whilst I don't think I will become as attached to this as his previous album it is a welcome offering.

Oh, and I don't know if this is the same for others but for Julia and I the last two songs on those streams are the same, which means I'm missing one. Anybody know anything about it?

I didn't listen right through to the end but is this stream different at the end?

Yeah, that's sorted it!

And it turns out I like Christina's Farm more, and not Salt Silver Oxygen haha. Though that isn't bad.

 

Antony & The Johnsons' Antony Hegarty hints at quitting touring

 

Singer reveals he took a year off after feeling burnt out and exhausted

 

Antony & The Johnsons frontman Antony Hegarty has hinted that he may never tour again.

 

The singer admitted that it took him a year to recover from touring his last 2009 album 'The Crying Light', which left him burnt out and exhausted.

 

"This last year I haven't travelled at all," he told The Independent. "I've been in a quandary - I have a problem with the amount of travelling there is, so it's a huge issue. And does that mean I'm never going to tour again? I don't really know."

 

Hegarty, who recently released his latest album 'Swanlights', has yet to line-up any tour dates in support of his current LP other than a show with the Orchestra Of St Luke's at the Alice Tully Hall Starr Theater on New York's Broadway on October 30.

 

"It took me a year to recover," he added. "It wrings out the marrow from your bones. I remember Devendra Banhart once told me, 'I feel like a piece of charcoal'. When you've poured everything out and there's nothing left, you feel like a piece of coal."
