Laurie Anderson’s Amelia comprises twenty-two tracks about renowned female aviator Amelia Earhart’s tragic last flight. Anderson wrote the music and lyrics for this subjective narrative piece. On the album, she 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. “I spend a lot of time in the studio by myself doing stuff ... with a bunch of instrument panels, and I felt like I was making something that was gonna go somewhere somehow, so I had a feel for her,” Anderson tells author and journalist Jonathan Cott in a conversation about the project and her connection to Earhart. You can see what else she had to say in that conversation and one with Dennis Russell Davies, as well as archival photographs and film, and songs from the album, in this video on the making of Amelia, made by Robert Edridge-Waks.

Laurie Anderson's first feature film in 30 years, Heart of a Dog is a personal essay on joy and heartbreak and remembering and forgetting, at the heart of which is a lament for her late beloved dog Lolabelle. It's "one of the most moving and provocative films you’ll see this year," says New York. The Nonesuch album is the full audio recording of the film, including all music and spoken text. 

Fenway Bergamot, Laurie Anderson's male alter ego, featured on her 2010 album Homeland, imagines life as a troubadour in pastoral France, with all that might entail—the good, the bad, the fantastical.

In this excerpt from "Homeland: The Story of the Lark," the documentary on the making of Laurie Anderson's Homeland included with the album, Anderson discusses the challenges involved in gathering the thousands of files she had assembled for the project over the years, the daunting task of creating a single album from them, and the unfailing support she received from her husband and Homeland co-producer Lou Reed throughout the process. Reed offers his perspective here as well, as does album engineer Mario McNulty. The documentary is by filmmaker Braden King.
