14. March 2016

As the author of the review, Laura Snapes, says, “Her trademark as an arranger is intensely detailed maximalism, but with a keen sense of pop phrasing that keeps things limber. Her first wholly independent project reveals her to be one of the most innovative minds in modern British music: She wears her obvious theoretical grounding lightly and never lets it obstruct her ecstatic quest for new ideas and deranged stimuli. Varmints is a knockout, the kind that makes you see cartoon stars.” Anna Meredith will be playing at Pohoda’s 20th edition.
