The group built up a cult following at hip New York clubs such as the Kitchen and Knitting Factory . Antony then received a NYFA for performance artemergent forms which she used to record the Johnsons ' debut album Blue Angel , that remained unreleased until Current 93 leader David Tibet signed Antony and the Johnsons to his Durtro label . The cast list of musicians on the album , released under the title Antony and the Johnsons in 1998 , included Baby Dee harp , Francois Gehin bass , Todd Cohen drums , Charles Neilson guitar , and a number of string and woodwind players . This album later were reissued in 2000 and in 2004 by Secretly Canadian . This collection of modern torch songs highlighted Antony ' s soulful , multioctave vocals and the Johnsons ' graceful chamber pop arrangements , reaching a peak on Cripple And The Starfish and Divine , the latter a tribute to the late transvestite movie star . Further recordings by Antony and the Johnsons emerged in the early years of the new millennium , including I Fell in Love with a Dead Boy and a shared EP Live at St . Olave ' s with Current 93 , recorded live at Saint Olave ' s Church in London , England . In early 2001 released 3 song EP I Fell in Love with a Dead Boy , included covers of Mysteries of Love Appeared originally on the film Blue Velvet and Soft Black Stars . Split EP included two new songs from the Johnsons , the first being You Stand Above Me , only one minute and thirtysix seconds long but containing all the melancholy and drama one would expect from the Johnsons . The other new track was The Lake which was an 1827 poem written by Edgar Allan Poe beautifully adapted to song . The Johnsons appear with Current 93 again on a 7 , with side B including the song Virgin Mary . This was limited to 500 copies , both released May 12 th , 2003 .

With the band now attracting wider attention , Antony and the Johnsons signed to US based label Secretly Canadian . Secretly Canadian then reissued the band ' s debut to a wider audience in the USA . The Lake was released the following year through the new label . It ' s another 3 song EP including The Lake Lou Reed appeared on Fistful of Love with guest vocals and guitar . The Horror Has Gone seems to be Antony expressing the end of a depressing phase in her life , a positive lyrical change from her debut style . In February 2005 Antony and the Johnsons released their second full length , I Am A Bird Now . It has guest appearances from Rufus Wainwright , Devendra Banhart , Lou Reed and Boy George . It went on to receive great critical acclaim in the UK and won Antony the Technics Mercury Music Prize for 2005 . In 2006 Antony appeared in the Leonard Cohen tribute concert and subsequent film I ' m Your Man . Her performance of If It Be Your Will is perhaps the highlight of the film . The 5 song Another World EP was released on October 7 , 2008 . As promised , it shows a mixture of continuation of earlier songs ' atmosphere as well as more experimental work . Antony and the Johnsons ' third album , The Crying Light , was released on January 19 , 2009 . This was followed by Swanlights in October , 2010 . Both of these latter albums are less melodic and more experimental in nature the Antony ' s earlier work and have met with critical acclaim yet little commercial success .
