Anna Meredith – August 12

Described by Pitchfork as “one of the most innovative voices in British Music” Anna Meredith is a genre-crossing composer and producer who’s work straddles the worlds of contemporary classical, art pop, electronica and experimental rock.
After building an established career in the classical world and two critically acclaimed EPs, she released her much-anticipated debut album, “Var-mints” on Moshi Moshi Records in March 2016. The critical response was overwhelming with 4 and 5 star reviews across the board from the likes of The Wire, Sunday Times, Uncut, Q Magazine, Pitchfork among many oth-ers.
As well as being Loud & Quiet’s Album of the Year, “Varmints” also won the 2016 Scottish Album of the Year (SAY) award.
In March 2017 the band went on their first US tour including performanc-es at SXSW, which the New York Times reviewed as “sheer exhilaration” while NPR’s Bob Boilen described the show as “the best artist I’ve seen at SXSW and one of the most creative bands I’ve seen in years. “ Simply a big must for this year edition of the L Concerts.
