At times her music has bordered on the electronic or acoustic, but for the most part it’s consumed by a rather high-brow crowd. Lately, however, her work has been pretty far from the orchestral, and this distancing has finally come to head with her first pop record Varmints (released March 4, 2016). The 38 year-old’s adventure into the world of synth art pop is a memorable, if sometimes strange, romp. Clocking in at about 48 minutes over 11 songs, the artist has managed to rein in the movements and suites into a collection of short and sweet songs that anyone can find something they like in.
