Anna Meredith’s 2016 album Varmints (Moshi Moshi Records) is a masterclass in modern electronic composition. A critically acclaimed standout of its year, the album showcases Meredith as a true "electronic native," blending post-classical attitude with high-energy production and sophisticated, mathematical structural complexity.
The record is an explosive, genre-defying experience, ranging from the brass-heavy, anthemic intensity of "Nautilus" to the stabbing, neon-lit house synths of "Something Helpful." Across the album, Meredith weaves together disparate threads—including dubstep-inspired percussion, noisenik guitar scree, and arpeggiating synth layers—underpinned by her unique, ethereal vocal delivery.
Key Highlights:
- Dynamic Soundscapes: A daring blend of massed horns, electronics, and post-classical textures.
- Standout Tracks: Includes the explosive opener "Nautilus," the synth-heavy "Something Helpful," and the eclectic, Pixies-inspired "Taken."
- Artistic Vision: Features expert synth work and multi-layered vocal arrangements that evoke the experimental spirit of legends like Brian Eno.
Available now on CD, Varmints remains an essential listen for fans of experimental electronic music and forward-thinking pop.
