Bright Red

Laurie Anderson

A murky, nocturnal collaboration with Brian Eno. Spoken narratives drift over slowed-down organic textures and deep, pulsing electronics.

October 25, 1994 · Warner Bros. Records

A heavy, nocturnal intimacy that feels both intellectually sharp and emotionally shadowed.

Moments Worth Listening For

The unsettling transition from a road trip memory to the visceral image of a weasel skull on an eagle's neck in Speechless

Lou Reed's gravelly baritone intertwining with Anderson's breathy delivery on the intimate In Our Sleep

The rhythmic, hypnotic repetition of the blinking VCR clock metaphor that closes the album on Same Time Tomorrow
