The follow-up to "I Am A Bird Now" shifts thematic focus and explores Antony's relationship with the natural world. The intimacy of the Johnsons' sound is enveloped by avant-classical composer Nico Muhly's symphonic arrangements.
Arguably Antony's most wide-ranging emotional work to date, with an exotic sound palette, of strange percussive elements, John Cale-esque string drones, heavily distorted guitars and symphonic voicings.
The culmination of several years working in collaboration with orchestras and symphonies around the world is a collection of live symphonic performances of songs from "Swanlights", "The Crying Light", "I Am a Bird Now" and the self-titled debut.

Apoptose's long out of print first album "Nordland" is back - even more beautiful than before. A cult record for lovers of orchestral ritualistic soundsculptures, now complete with one bonus track, new artwork and a carefully remastered sound.
"Ana Liil" spins within close range of those Dark Ambient realms that Apoptose became known for since the early 2000s but at the same time they show a new quality of songwriting. Both feature the frail singing of a girl who keeps the dusty shadows at bay.
Apoptose are joined by a wide range of different singers for this album, including the classical trained tenor Daniel Sans, and head for novel territories within the Dark Ambient music genre by incorporating electronica and modern classical.
A return to the northern wilderness once more, home of their album "Nordland", this time with extended lineup featuring the singer Silke and the 15 drummers of the Fanfarenzug Leipzig. A journey to a realm of witchcraft, fairy-tales and ancient goddesses.
