Anna Meredith - Varmints

Review by Al Silva

Anna Meredith's album Varmints is a sonic masterpiece that showcases her unique and innovative approach to music-making. The album is a blend of classical, electronic, and experimental sounds that come together to create a harmonious and captivating listening experience.

From the opening track "Nautilus", which features a pulsating beat and soaring strings, to the closing track "Blackfriars", which is a haunting and atmospheric piece, the album takes the listener on a journey through a range of emotions and moods.

Meredith's use of unconventional instruments such as the tuba and the clarinet, as well as her incorporation of field recordings and found sounds, adds a layer of texture and depth to the music that is both unexpected and satisfying.

The album is a testament to Meredith's skill as a composer and producer, and her ability to push the boundaries of genre and style. It is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates innovative and boundary-pushing music.
