On the second single from Antony & The Johnson's "I Am A Bird Now", Antony presents one of the strongest
solo pieces in his rich reportoire. The song "Hope There's Someone" is a rush of emotion, coursing through lay-
ers of hope and alarm in search of someone. Pitchfork characterizes the song remarking, "It starts all atremble
with a disarmingly naked prayer ("Hope there's someone who'll take care of me when I die, will I go?"). As the
song progresses that someone changes shape, and becomes a spectral double, as Antony sings for and against
himself; the hoped-for someone is both a loving companion and an exterminating angel." The esteemed NPR
program All Things Considered recently reviewed "I Am A Bird Now" injecting one of the most illuminate and
apropos assessments yet, "This is a fantastic record. It's thoroughly modern but feels lived in, it's got an old
soul..." Two of the three songs are previously unreleased outtakes from the "I Am A Bird Now" sessions. The
single also contains a new video for "Hope There's Someone" by up and coming NY director Glen Fogel. The
video, and cover art, features a captivating portrait of the NYC legend Joey Gabriel.
