Kronos Quartet are one of the most prolific–and collaborative!--groups on the Nonesuch roster, so expect to see them multiple times in the Paragon series. For this first release, we picked the group’s collaborative effort with Laurie Anderson, an album featuring lush, elegiac instrumentation and spoken word poems from Anderson. Inspired by Hurricane Sandy, Laurie’s poetry on the album covers grief, natural disasters, and memory. It’s a perfect way to start the Paragon series because it captures the left-field elegance of the whole Nonesuch catalog.
Landfall by Laurie Anderson & Kronos Quartet will be pressed on Black 180g vinyl. The 2LPs will arrive in a double gatefold, tip-on and numbered jacket.
