Pitchfork Says Laurie Anderson Creates “Awestruck Wonder” On New LP Amelia
According to Pitchfork, Laurie Anderson‘s new album Amelia is “filled with moments of awestruck wonder…. Like 2018’s Landfall—a rumination on the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy in collaboration with the Kronos Quartet—Amelia pairs Anderson’s hypnotic style of vocalizing with a contemporary classical ensemble (Filharmonie Brno, conducted by Dennis Russell Davies). But Amelia, despite its tragic final act, is a lighter and livelier reflection: a celebration of Amelia Earhart’s life and spirit, and an occasionally awestruck meditation on the magnitude of her quest.” The site’s full review of the LP – at radio now via Nonesuch – is here.
