1. Antony’s third single from the landmark I Am A Bird Now.

2. Completed first extensive domestic AND overseas tour in support of I Am A Bird Now.

3. Antony has swiftly become the best selling Secretly Canadian artist with the release of his new full-length.

Antony & The Johnsons breakthrough album I Am A Bird Now has certainly touched fans and

critics alike. His second full-length - released in February - stands as one of the most globally acclaimed
albums of 2005. The album’s latest single is the anthemic and heart-rending “You Are My Sister”, pre-
sented as a duet between Antony and Boy George. Together these two vocalists climb to the highest peak
of emotional vulnerability, providing for the listener one of the most touching and uncanny duets of the
past decade. It’s heartbreaking when Antony sings, “You are my sister / we were born / so innocent, so
full of need / there were times we were friends / but times I was so cruel / at night I’d asked for to watch
me as I sleep”. With soaring and world-weary intensity, Boy George utterly commands the refrain: “You
are my sister / and I love you / may all of your dreams come true.” In “You Are My Sister,” the pair sing
from the depths of their hearts for the world.

This extended single also includes three new, unreleased songs recorded during the I Am A Bird

Now sessions. “Poorest Ear” is a harrowing and complex vision from the perspective of an alienated
child. Responding perhaps to “You Are My Sister,” Antony sings of a girl who wishes to save her imper-
iled brother in “Forest of Love.” Finally, “Paddy’s Gone” is a choral lament to long-lost man. These
tracks all seem to support Antony’s recent assertion; “Recently I have been imagining that we contain a
family inside us... a mother, a father, a boy, a girl and a baby. I Am a Bird Now represents a dialogue
between some of these figures.”

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 mod-
ern but feels lived in, it’s got an old soul...”
