"Laurie Anderson has a way of holding our lives up to a mirror, reintroducing us to ourselves, in all our ridiculousness and splendor," writes NPR Music's Tom Huizenga in his introduction to Anderson's new NPR Tiny Desk Concert; "her incantations … seem more sage-like than ever." She was joined by violist Martha Mooke and multi-instrumentalist Doug Wieselman of Sexmob to perform songs from throughout her career, starting with "Let X=X," from her debut album, Big Science, and the title track to her just-released live album with Sexmob.
