Description: “Anderson described Mister Heartbreak as a journey into “the swamp” – her spin on writing an album about love. She moved towards more organic sounds for her second release by mixing the howls of dogs, frogs and birds in with the deep hum of her Synclavier II. Where most of the material on Big Science was recycled from previous performance pieces, the songs on Mister Heartbreak were made to be an album – one bookended by dramatic accounts of a day in the life of a grocery cashier named Sharkey (the concluding one read by her close friend, William Burroughs). It maintains her trademark hypnotic minimalism while offering more in the way of melody, and sees Anderson coming into her own as a musician while staying true to her home in the downtown NYC art world."--Maya-Roisin Slater, The Guardian
