notes
One day when he was a child in New York City Anton put his ear against a speaker in a dark apartment on the west side and went into a trance. He had a long dream. When he woke up twenty years later his heart was permanently broken, but in a good way. Trying to make a movie out of the turbulence in his mind, he found himself writing songs instead, songs some have described as sounding like Bryan Ferry, some as sounding like John Lennon, and some as sounding like a session of great sex during psychoanalysis.
Sometimes Anton takes himself a little too seriously, but his melodies are often beautiful, his lyrics often interesting, and his beats cool, so forgive him. Girls are usually more enamored of his tunes than boys, but the boys are slowly being won over.
Anton is currently assembling a real and imaginary band. Current real members include Jessica Hallman on caramel cello, Kristofer Widholm on golden guitar, Kristin Mueller on baked ginger drums, and Joanna Choy on silver voice. They play in various combinations in the NYC area and are touring the northeast USA in March/April 2008.
The first Anton Sword CD, "A Sentimental Education," has been described by listeners in the US and Europe as Lush, Dreamy, Mesmerizing, Groovy, Catchy, and Gorgeous. "Should you have forgotten what a beautiful ballad is or what a finely crafted good pop song sounds like, Anton Sword has 'a sentimental education' ready for you: 11 wonderfully produced songs of melancholy, love and the fleetingness of human existence...dark but tender."
--Roman Elsener, in The Roman Games Diary Blog

melodies are ultra-singable. lyrics are fresh, meaningful, memorable. dance to some of the songs--the beat makes you move! and for others--you sit back, feet up & listen with summer cocktail in hand. it's a good length & value for yr $$. you'll want to take it with you wherever you go....i just love it. so good.
