Anna Meredith

Anna Meredith is a composer, producer and performer of both acoustic and electronic music. Her sound is frequently described as ‘uncategorisable’ and ‘genre-defying’ and straddles the worlds of contemporary classical, art pop, film and TV soundtracks, electronica, installations and experimental rock.

Her music has been performed everywhere from the Hollywood Bowl to BBC Last Night of the Proms to flashmob body-percussion performances at the M6 Services. It has been used in numerous fashion campaigns, adverts, films, TV shows, installations and pop festivals, clubs and classical concert halls worldwide and is regularly broadcast on BBC Radio 1, 2, 3, 4 & 6.

Her debut album, Varmints was released in March 2016 to huge critical acclaim with 4 and 5 star reviews from press and media around the world including Pitchfork’s coveted Best New Music. Varmints was Loud & Quiet's Album of the Year 2016 and won the 2016 Scottish Album of the Year (SAY) Award.

Her second album, FIBS, was released in October 2019 and was shortlisted for the Mercury Prize as well as being named Electronic Sound’s Album of the Year. It featured in numerous End of Year lists including Loud & Quiet, Paste, Stereogum and received 4 and 5 star reviews across the board.

For the past 8 years Anna has collaborated with her band - three of the UK’s leading instrumentalists - Maddie Cutter on cello, Jack Ross on guitar and Sam Wilson on drums. They have toured extensively including sold-out headline shows around the UK including Barbican Centre, EartH, ICA, Oval Space and Queen Elizabeth Hall in London as well as appearances at Glastonbury, Latitude, Haldern Pop, ReWire, Big Ears & SXSW festivals.

Their live show has been described as ‘sheer exhilaration’ by the New York Times, and as ‘a stormy, ecstatic, endlessly danceable thrill to behold…’ by NPR’s Bob Boilen who described their Tiny Desk performance as ‘simply the most exhilarating one I’ve experienced.’
