Antony and the Johnsons release single, tour Europe, cover Beyonce

Part of me wished Antony was covering "Single Ladies" on his new single, but alas, he's actually covering Beyonce's "Crazy in Love" as a double A-side along with "Aeon," a track from his recent The Crying Light album. The 7"/CD will be released on August 4 by Secretly Canadian, and a day before in Europe by Rough Trade. Speaking of Europe, it looks like Antony will be spending his summer there, as his tour dates (below) bring him all over the continent.
