Rating: 5/5
Antony Hegarty is one of the most mesmerising and electrifying artists of the past decade. The Mercury Award-winner's fourth studio offering, Swanlights, rips holes in your soul. But there are also rare moments of elation making it more uplifting than previous works, particularly the desperately sad I Am A Bird Now. The album's standout tracks include Thank You For Your Love, a beautiful chamber-pop ode of gratitude, and the haunting Flétta, a duet with Bjork.
