FLOOD Digs The “Relatable Yet Unusual World” Of Laurie Anderson’s Amelia
“Laurie Anderson works with an immense, colorful palate on her new LP Amelia—one radically different from her more confined and intimate projects,” writes FLOOD in its new review of the LP, out now via Nonesuch. According to FLOOD, “Anderson—a true master of FX-driven suspense and verbal disguise—filters hard fact and flighty perspective into one tight, 35-minute audio-verité package, knitting together telegrams, longitudinal readings, and other black-box-like ephemera with poetic first- and third-party narrations, all of which soar gently and craggily through ANOHNI’s cloudy backgrounds… Anderson again creates a relatable yet unusual world, metrically illustrates all of its free-flying joys, and elegiacally warns against its most menacing dangers.” Read the full review here, and get Amelia started at your station.
