Album The Lake
Info about song
"The Lake," the title track of the EP, is an adaptation of a poem by Edgar Allen Poe set to original music. Mystical folk hero Devendra Banhart included a live version of Antony's "The Lake" on the critically hailed compilation of new American music, The Golden Apples of the Sun. Pitchfork.com singled out Antony's track for glowing review, giving it 4.5 stars and calling it "breathtaking" and "powerful." The track features Kevin Barker of Currituck Co. on guitar and Julia Kent on cello, and is more subtle than the live recording; Antony murmurs the lyrics inwardly, communicating at once the longing, comfort, and existential fear evoked by the mythic lake. The EP closes out with a lullaby, The Horror Has Gone, a simple fable with a hypnotic melody. Read more on Last.fm.
