About this album

Mister Heartbreak is a striking continuation of Laurie Anderson’s avant-pop vision, balancing electronic invention, deadpan storytelling and sharp melodic hooks. Arriving in 1984, it followed the success of Big Science and expanded her world with a fuller band sound and bolder studio textures, while keeping her distinct mix of irony, intimacy and conceptual play. The album includes “Sharkey’s Day”, “Gravity’s Angel” and the Peter Gabriel collaboration “Excellent Birds”, songs that helped cement Anderson’s reputation as one of the most original figures in experimental pop. It remains a key statement in her catalogue, where art music, rock and performance meet on equal terms.
