The new album is centered around pioneering aviator Amelia’s
Earhart’s who went missing after a fatal flight in 1937.

Anderson: “The words used in Amelia are inspired by her pilot diaries, the telegrams
she wrote to her husband, and my idea of what a woman flying around the world might
think about. Helping bring her musical vision to life are Czech orchestra Filharmonie Brno
with conductor Dennis Russell Davies, Anohni, Gabriel Cabezas, Rob Moose, Ryan Kelly,
Martha Mooke, Marc Ribot, Tony Scherr, Nadia Sirota, and Kenny Wolleson.”

First single ROAD TO MANDALEY. A smoothly synth-trippy spoken word reflection.
