Laurie Anderson is the musical guest on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon tonight. Tune in for a performance of an excerpt of "Another Day in America," off Anderson's latest Nonesuch release, Homeland, featuring her male alter ego, Fenway Bergamot. The New York Times, in a feature on Anderson that ran upon the album's release last summer, says the song "suggests creative roads not taken." The show airs on NBC tonight, starting at 12:35 AM.

Anderson will be among the participants in this year's PEN World Voices Festival, the organization announced yesterday. She will curate an evening of poetry, featuring Antony and the Johnsons (whose singer Antony Hegarty contributed what the Times calls "ghostly vocals" to "Another Day in America" on the record). Chaired by Salman Rushdie, the festival, now in its seventh year, will take place in New York City from April 25 through May 1 and include such literary luminaries as Edmund White, Malcolm Gladwell, Irvine Welsh, Wallace Shawn, and many others. Anderson has participated in the festival in previous years as well. For more information on the PEN World Voices Festival, visit pen.org.

Laurie Anderson and her husband, Lou Reed, performed a special Valentine's Day duo show at The Stone in New York City last week. She joined guitarist Fred Frith for another duo concert there last night. It's all part of a month of events Anderson and Reed are curating at the downtown space, led by artistic director John Zorn.

    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 out now 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.

    The Staves' new EP Happy New Year, out today, includes three acoustic versions of tracks from their new album, All Now—"I Don't Say It, But I Feel It," "After School," and "All Now"—and a cover of The Beatles' "She's Leaving Home." Also out now: an acoustic performance video for "After School," which the duo calls "a love song to our sister Emily inspired by the bands we were listening to in the '90s. Putting on the rose-tinted glasses and embracing nostalgia."
