Laurie Anderson & Kronos Quartet - Landfall - LP

2LP

Inspired by Laurie Anderson's experience of Hurricane Sandy, Landfall (2018) is the first collaboration between the iconic storyteller/musician and the groundbreaking Kronos Quartet, who perform together throughout. The album juxtaposes lush electronics and traditional strings with Anderson's powerful meditations on loss — from water-logged pianos to disappearing animal species — in a work the Washington Post called 'riveting, gorgeous.'
