Varmints is the debut studio album by the British composer and electronica musician Anna Meredith, released on March 4, 2016 on Moshi Moshi. Released to widespread critical acclaim, the album won Scottish Album of the Year Award in 2016.
In a highly positive review for Pitchfork, Laura Snapes awarded Varmints with the website's "Best New Music" label, writing: "[Anna Meredith's] 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. And Varmints is a knockout, the kind that makes you see cartoon stars."
