A reissue of Anna's second album, Varmints. The record is called Varmints because these songs represent ideas she could not shake off, a welcome infestation of "musical pests." Varmints is grand in its own way, a record of unusual scope and power, perfectly blending Meredith's love of big brush strokes with her eye for the devastating detail. Meredith manages to cloak high-minded experimentalism in playful pop sensibilty. For fans of Holly Herndon, Kate Bush, Arthur Russell and Modern Classical.
