Since the ascent of Antony's I Am a Bird Now, critics have progressively focused their attention on the New York City vocalist's physicality, often with weirdly aggressive cheap shots. The hook: Big guy with angel's voice. Live, wearing a black Mascis wig as camouflage, Antony does tower over his bandmates, but the body police fail to note that his physiognomy renders the gender play so much more exquisitely plaintive because, well, there just aren't many women that tall. And despite his colorful backstory, it seems time to drop the two-bit caricatures and puff pieces and return to the brilliant, unearthly voice that earned Antony his accolades in the first place-- his three most recent singles offer a good place as any to instigate a frequency shift.

Next comes 'A Fistful of Love', a jazzy, horn-heavy stomp beginning with a spoken intro courtesy of Lou Reed.
This paean to rough sex/love nicely prolongs Poe: 'The Lake' is an adaptation of an Edgar Allen poem and Antony sings on Reed's The Raven, a concept album about the soused 19th-century author.
