Some musicians are just more inaccessible to the listening public than others. For example, Antony and The Johnsons. It takes a certain person to be able to appreciate the novelty and brilliance of Antony Hegarty but for most the listening experience ends just a few minutes into the first song and then they give up thinking that it’s just too out of their comfort zone. For those people may I present The Irrepressibles.
Coming from the same vein as Antony, The Irrepressibles present the same level of grandeur and drama – both in music and performance – that Antony does but in a less expansive and distracting way. People that aren’t able to fully wrap their arms around Antony should give a listen to The Irrepressibles and might be surprised when they find themselves enamored by what they hear.
