Say, Antony, what's the latest? You've been doing "a lot more work on the new album" at New York's Allaire Studios? You're spending your days "editing and mulling over different versions of each song, trying to figure out what goes where"? And your new record is almost ready for mixing? You don't say!
Oh, but Antony did say all this and more on a recent update on his website (linked via NME.com). That eagerly-anticipated album he mentions will be the follow-up to 2005's I Am a Bird Now, and Antony's third with the Johnsons.
Mr. Hegarty also shared some words about his contribution to the soundtrack to the forthcoming Dylan biopic I'm Not There, for which he collaborated with Currituck Co.'s Kevin Barker to cover "Knockin' on Heaven's Door". "We did it slow and minor," Antony wrote.
He then waxed ecstatic over Turning, the previously reported film version of a multimedia project he put together in 2004 with video artist Charles Atlas. "It looks great. The interviews with the models are poignant."
Antony also geeked over the original piece: "Turning was so magic. That was my favorite thing I have ever been a part of."
What's more, Antony lends his one-of-a-kind pipes to a new tune called "Roar" from Brooklyn-based Hercules and Love Affair, whose debut LP will drop via the unstoppable DFA in 2008. The "Classique 2 / Roar" 12" is out now.
And, most significantly, as Antony wrote, "I saw Beyonce live last week. She was incredible and cried real tears during 'Flaws and All'. She was just the best." Dude, collaborate already!
