Varmints by Anna Meredith


https://annahmeredith.bandcamp.com/album/varmints

This came up on my 2016 playlist and I was thinking yeah this kind of sucks. Maybe it’ll be the first one I don’t even bother listening finishing listening to. So I give search through MB. Mord likes it. Figures. Run it through Google and lo and behold it’s got praise galore. How can this be? I read the pitchfork review https://www.google.com/amp/s/pitchfo...-varmints/amp/ and it occurs to me: This album provokes Gone Girl syndrome. You know how people think Gone Girl is wild but really it isn’t? I’m not even being the least bit facetious when I tell you this is a good reminder to myself that I’m light years more sophisticated than the masses. Even if they write for Wire. Goddamn y’all are lucky to have me to straighten this **** out for you.
