Antony and the Johnsons: "Another World" (Live on Ferguson) (Video)

8:24 a.m. · April 30, 2009 · by Nick Neyland

Talk show host Craig Ferguson admits that he is “quite scared” of the cover of Antony and the Johnsons’ latest album, The Crying Light, in this appearance on his show. The performance of “Another World” doesn’t have the same bizarro world quality of Antony’s recent appearance on Dutch TV, where he played “One Dove.”

This version of “Another Word” is haunting and beautiful, with Antony’s voice perfectly complemented by a small string section. Fortunately for Ferguson, the “scary” lady on the cover of The Crying Light (who is butoh dancer Kazuo Ohno) doesn’t make an appearance.
