Mighty Vertebrate is the International Anthem debut from Anna Butterss. The Adelaide born bassist / composer has been a first call for LA tour and studio work since relocating there in 2014 racking up credits with notables across the experimental, jazz, and pop worlds alike but their most notable contributions to the burgeoning LA scene have been as a member of both Jeff Parkers ETA IVtet and rising proto-trance supergroup SML, who Pitchfork says represents the thrilling next phase of a vibrant L.A. community. The music itself reflects that structure beautifully, with the material being tightly composed and melodically realized by Butterss well in advance of production concerns. Here they reconvene a group of trusted longtime collaborators to bring their compositions to fruition: Ben Lumsdaine (drums, guitar, production), Josh Johnson (sax), and Gregory Uhlmann (guitar), plus a smoking guest appearance from Jeff Parker. The breadth and scope of the results might have been difficult to achieve otherwise. From the Robbie-Shakespeare-in-groove-mode intro to the album opener Bishop to the spacious cinematic doom of Seeing You, there is a lot to wrangle into one cohesive concept. On Mighty Vertebrate, Butterss and crew do just that.
