Laurie Anderson – India And On Down To Australia (Weekly Music Roundup)

Laurie Anderson – India And On Down To Australia (Weekly Music Roundup)

The story of Amelia Earhart’s pioneering and ultimately tragic last flight continues to fascinate and inspire. Rock songs, orchestral pieces, a photography project, even an episode of the animated TV series Bob’s Burgers have all responded to Earhart’s story. On August 30, Laurie Anderson will release her piece Amelia, a half-hour work of storytelling, sound design, music and song. For now, she’s put out a single, called “India And On Down To Australia,” featuring Anderson’s highly processed vocals, eerily shadowed by the unmistakable voice of Anohni, who is featured in key moments throughout the piece. That song is part of our weekly music roundup.
