So this album cover from Antony & The Johnsons' "The Crying Light". It's a photograph of Kazuo Ohno, a butoh dancer from the 70's. Here's Antony's quote from the press release: ""The Crying Light is dedicated to the great dancer Kazuo Ohno. In performance I watched him cast a circle of light upon the stage, and step into that circle, and reveal the dreams and reveries of his heart. He seemed to dance in the eye of something mysterious and creative; with every gesture he embodied the child and the feminine divine. He's kind of like my art parent."
Anyway, I don't really like Antony's voice, and this photo isn't that great on a number of levels. The album was released on January 19, 2009 via Secretly Canadian.
