DFA DJ Andy Butler teams up with Nomi, Kim Ann Foxman and queer musical genius Antony Hegarty to deliver one of the most innovative electro/dance records in ages, the self-titled Hercules and Love Affair. For those who felt Anthony and the Johnsons’ music was a little too precious, check out Antony here as he warbles gorgeously in his trademark tones over these incredibly fresh, beat-driven songs. Essential tracks: “Blind,” “Raise Me Up” and “You Belong.”
