Antony Hegarty's tremulous warble is a strange and marvelous instrument — and for many, an acquired taste. The Crying Light, this diva-dude's third album, spotlights his haunting vocals with few distractions, using piano and low-key orchestral arrangements as foils for him to swoop and shiver over. Kate Bush and Bryan Ferry are touchstones on songs about a dead woman (the mother-obsessed "Her Eyes Are Underneath the Ground") and a beloved boy (the startlingly soul-tinged "Aeon"). But ultimately Antony is an original, with a dark vision that never skimps on beauty.
