Excerpt

Laurie Anderson will present a four-episode BBC Radio 6 Music Artist in Residence series December 16–19, 11pm–12am GMT. The themes of Anderson's four playlists: the real world; love and energy; loneliness and change; and the dream world. “It’s been a blast being your DJ and I hope you like the things I put together for 6 Music," she says. "I always wanted to have a late night radio show for people who are somewhere between awake and asleep. But even if you’re out and about—I hope you have a good time listening to some of my favorite music." Anderson is on BBC World Service's In the Studio, offering a front row seat as she put the finishing touches on her new album, Amelia, at Miraval Studios in southern France, with engineer Damien Quintard.

Laurie Anderson, whose new album, Amelia, was released on Friday, will present a BBC Radio 6 Music Artist in Residence series—a journey into an artist’s musical soul over four episodes, with each based around a different theme or mood—December 16–19, 11pm–12am GMT. The themes of Anderson's four playlists, featuring music from gospel to jazz, ANOHNI to Lou Reed: the real world; love and energy; loneliness and change; and the dream world. 

“It’s been a blast being your DJ and I hope you like the things I put together for 6 Music," Anderson says of the series. "I always wanted to have a late night radio show for people who are somewhere between awake and asleep. But even if you’re out and about—I hope you have a good time listening to some of my favorite music."

On Laurie Anderson’s new album Amelia, about Amelia Earhart’s tragic last flight, Anderson is joined by the Czech orchestra Filharmonie Brno, conducted by Dennis Russell Davies, and Anohni, Gabriel Cabezas, Rob Moose, Ryan Kelly, Martha Mooke, Marc Ribot, Tony Scherr, Nadia Sirota, and Kenny Wollesen. "This sounds absolutely incredible. What a gorgeous thing," Tom Ravenscroft said on BBC 6 Music's New Music Fix. You can get the album and hear it here.

    Jeff Parker's New ETA IVtet Album "The Way Out of Easy' Due November 22 on International Anthem / Nonesuch

    The Way Out of Easy, the first album from guitarist Jeff Parker and his long-running ETA IVtet—saxophonist Josh Johnson, bassist Anna Butterss, drummer Jay Bellerose—since their 2022 debut Mondays at the Enfield Tennis Academy, which Pitchfork named one of the Best Albums of the 2020s So Far, is due November 22 on International Anthem / Nonesuch Records. Like that album, The Way Out of Easy comprises recordings from LA venue ETA, where Parker and the ensemble held a weekly residency for seven years. During that time, the ETA IVtet evolved from a band that played mostly standards into a group known for its transcendent, long-form journeys into innovative, groove-oriented improvised music. All four tracks on The Way Out of Easy come from a single night in 2023, providing an unfiltered view of the ensemble, fully in their element. You can watch a video for the seventeen-minute album track "Late Autumn," made by Mikel Patrick Avery, here.

    Watch: Laurie Anderson Featured on 'PBS NewsHour'

    "For some five decades, artist and musician Laurie Anderson has been redefining cultural boundaries," says PBS NewsHour host Amna Nawaz. "In a new album, she's now exploring the story of an earlier woman who reached for the heights." Anderson spoke about that album, Amelia, and more with NewsHour senior arts correspondent Jeffrey Brown. "The stories you tell yourself about who you are and what you want, those are stories to help you live," she says. "If you don't have those suddenly, it's terrifying. I mean, you will keep living ... but it's the story that keeps you going." You can watch their conversation here.
