Swanlights, the new album from Antony and the Johnsons, is coming October 11 in Europe on Rough Trade and a day later in the U.S. from Secretly Canadian. (It's been pushed back a week from its originally announced release date.) Antony has now let loose with the album'stracklist. And oh snap, look at that: Fellow otherworldly wailer Björk shows up to duet with Antony on "Flétta". This won't be the first time Björk and Antony have hooked up; Antony previously duetted with Björk on her songs "The Dull Flame of Desire" and "My Juvenile".
As previously mentioned, Swanlights will also come in a special art-book edition from Abrams, which will include a 144-page book featuring Antony's paintings, collages, photography, and writing. Check below for the album's tracklist.
In other Antony news, we'll soon hear his version of "Returnal", the title track of the new album from synth-drone titan Oneohtrix Point Never. On August 31, Editions Mego will release the "Returnal" 7" single, which will feature Antony's version of the song, which includesOneohtrix dude Daniel Lopatin backing Antony on piano. The single's B-side will feature a remix of "Returnal" from fellow experimental guru Christian Fennesz, and the single will feature artwork from Sunn O))) man Stephen O'Malley. That's a lot of out-music big dogs on one 7"!
