Drawing on songs from regions the United States has been in conflict with since 1970, Anderson builds this first volume from music rooted in Southeast Asia, the former USSR, and Arabic and Islamic traditions. It is a thoughtful, clearly argued project as much as a beautiful one, asking who gets left outside the idea of “American” music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat idea suits Anderson especially well. She has spent decades working through the tangled roots of American folk, not as a revivalist but as a player who treats tradition as a live conversation. Here she adapts nine pieces through transcription, close listening, and research, reshaping material originally played on instruments such as the rubab, duduk, and dambura for her own guitar-based language. The results do not smooth away the distance between sources and performer; they keep that tension audible, which gives the record much of its character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album also sounds richly varied within its focused concept. \"Quodibet\" opens with an intricate medley feel, while \"Hamd\" and \"Zar\" show how Anderson can make unfamiliar forms feel intimate without domesticating them. Violin from Gisela Rodríguez Fernández adds another colour to parts of the set, and across the record Anderson's playing makes room for curiosity, restraint, and emotional weight in equal measure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack Vinyl standard edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull two-sided 12x24 insert\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes download card\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReviews\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cq\u003eRinging with warmth and emotion\u003c\/q\u003e - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/music\/2026\/may\/15\/marisa-anderson-the-anthology-of-unamerican-folk-music-review-harry-smith\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eThe Guardian\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cq\u003esteeping her stunning interpretations in humility and humanity\u003c\/q\u003e - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pitchfork.com\/reviews\/albums\/marisa-anderson-the-anthology-of-unamerican-folk-music\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003ePitchfork\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n    \n\n    \u003c!-- Genres --\u003e\n    \n      \u003cp\u003eGenre: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/folk-vinyl-records\"\u003eFolk\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\n    \n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Release tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n          \n          \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003e LP\u003c\/div\u003e\n          \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnits: \u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/folk-vinyl-records\"\u003eFolk\u003c\/a\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Tracklist tab content --\u003e\n  \n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eLP\u003cbr\u003e1.
