Is epilepsy akin to watching A Midsummer Night’s Dream on mushrooms? In Antony Hegarty’s world it is.
Breathtakingly beautiful in its shifting colour and ethereal texture the new clip for “Epilepsy Is Dancing” is a naked ode to the natural world. Antony calls upon nature to restore his faith in the human race – that pervasive sadness which inflects the majority of his work (including Hercules and Love Affair) melting slowly like the snow he sings about.
Everything from the choreography to the animation and make-up (much like the music) is measured and effortlessly emotive. Truly beautiful stuff.
Antony And The Johnson’s third studio album “The Crying Light” is available now.
