Another World is an EP by Antony and the Johnsons released on October 7, 2008 on compact disc and 12" vinyl. It precedes Antony and the Johnsons third album, The Crying Light. The EP features five previously unreleased recordings, including the first single from The Crying Light, "Another World".

The cover is a photograph of Japanese butoh performer Kazuo Ohno, taken by Pierre-Olivier Deschamps in 1984.

"Crackagen" is nearly nine years old; the earliest accessible recording of "Crackagen" is from 2003, in a video recording of Antony's performance at the Oni Gallery in Boston. That video is available on Antony and the Johnsons' official discography.

"Shake That Devil," previously known as "Shake That Dog," was performed often on Antony and the Johnsons' 2006-07 tour, with varying lyrics. The studio version features a downtempo intro to the song.

"Another World," "Sing For Me," and "Hope Mountain" are entirely new.
