Antony and the Johnsons to Perform At TED

 

Antony and the Johnsons have announced they will be performing at the prestigious TED Conference in Long Beach on March 1st.

TED is a non-profit that is dedicated to the spread of ideas and the conference aims to bring people from the fields of technology, entertainment and design together to discuss new ideas.

Antony and the Johnsons have a new EP (and video) due out sometime this spring for Secretly Canadian. The record company released Antony and the Johnsons’ latest album Swanlights last October, including a special edition that came inside a 144-page hardcover book that featured a collection of Antony’s paintings, photography and writing.

Like many of his earlier works, Swanlights and the accompanying book were focused on exploring Antony’s connection with the natural world.

Check out the album’s freshly released first single, “Shake the Shackles,” down below.
