Antony and the Johnsons’ fourth album coming in October

Antony Hegarty and his histrionic group are set to release their fourth studio album Swanlights later this year.

It is not merely just an album however, but a visual project that includes a 144 page booklet of writing, photographs, paintings and collages (if you buy the special edition). It certainly sounds interesting, and perhaps the cover, pictured above, can give us a clue as to what to expect through the booklet.

The album will see the light of day on October 5th in Europe through Rough Trade and October 6th in North America thanks to Secretly Canadian.
