    Laurie Anderson with Sexmob's Let X=X is due May 8, 2026, on Nonesuch Records.

The album features 23 songs, including many favorites from throughout Anderson’s career, performed in new arrangements—plus one by Lou Reed and Metallica, “Junior Dad.” Nonesuch Store orders include an exclusive print autographed by Laurie Anderson, while they last.
