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 Parker's ETA IVtet and rising proto-trance supergroup SML, who Pitchfork says \"represents the thrilling next phase of a vibrant L.A. community.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"I had just gotten off of a bunch of touring at the end of 2022 and just wanted to write music,\" says Butterss. \"The best way for me to do that, I've found, is to set myself a discreet and focused task.\" The compositions are tightly constructed and melodically realized well in advance of production. Here they reconvene with longtime collaborators: Ben Lumsdaine (drums, guitar, production), Josh Johnson (sax), and Gregory Uhlmann (guitar), plus a smoking guest appearance from Jeff Parker. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor fans of:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ambrose Akinmusire, Tomoko Sauvage, Irreversible Entanglements\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"International Anthem","offers":[{"title":"Green\/Grey Marbled Colour Vinyl","offer_id":62015581225228,"sku":null,"price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/4459\/3932\/files\/12bar-annabutterss-mightyvertebrate-internationalanthem.jpg?v=1785759307"},{"product_id":"daniel-villarreal-jeff-parker-anna-butterss-lados-b-2026-edition","title":"Daniel Villarreal, Jeff Parker \u0026 Anna Butterss – Lados B (2026 Edition)","description":"\u003cp\u003eOn October 15th and 16th, 2020, drummer Daniel Villarreal was joined by guitarist Jeff Parker and bassist Anna Butterss for two afternoons of recording in the backyard of Chicali Outpost in Los Angeles. For all three musicians, it was the first ensemble recording session they'd done in-person since the pandemic locked the world down just seven months prior. Some choice moments from these sessions made it onto Villarreal's critically-acclaimed 2022 album Panamá 77, but most of the music remained unreleased.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLados B is a deep dive into the high-level spontaneous music made by Villarreal, Parker, and Butterss across those two days in 2020. Villarreal is heard leading the group through various rhythmic modes and structures for improvisation – flow as informed by the Latin funk of Fania Records as it is by the otherworldly humanity of trance music – while Parker and Butterss draw on their extensive experience playing free together to build harmonic buoys for their spontaneous melodicism. The result is a beautifully vivid illustration of context, creativity, and collective composition from a particularly rich moment in history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor fans of:\u003c\/strong\u003e David Ornette Cherry, Takuya Nakamura, The Underground Youth\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"International Anthem","offers":[{"title":"Orange Vinyl","offer_id":62015581257996,"sku":null,"price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/4459\/3932\/files\/12bar-daniel-villarreal-lados-b-international-anthem.jpg?v=1785759799"},{"product_id":"jeremiah-chiu-in-electric-time-2026-edition","title":"Jeremiah Chiu – In Electric Time (2026 Edition)","description":"\u003cp\u003eOn June 29th, 2023, Jeremiah Chiu walked into the Vintage Synthesizer Museum (VSM) in Highland Park, Los Angeles, with no plan more specific than \"let's fire this stuff up and see what happens.\" Exploring the VSM's vast collection of classic, rare and staple synthesizers, he would sequence, trigger, and layer the machines together with help from VSM founder\/curator Lance Hill. The resulting album – In Electric Time - was recorded in just two days, and edited to completion in the two days following. It was captured fully analog by engineer Ben Lumsdaine. Cooper Crain (of Bitchin Bajas) makes an appearance as well; but ultimately the collection is an intuitive expression of organic electronic music conceptualized and created in-context by Chiu alone. In some ways, In Electric Time reflects the directness of Raymond Scott's electronic studio recordings — with sharp cuts and room chatter — and, in others, it conjures the in-the-Moment magic of Harmonia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor fans of: Raymond Scott, Harmonia, Bitchin Bajas\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"International Anthem","offers":[{"title":"Black Vinyl 1LP","offer_id":62019741810956,"sku":"IARC74LPX","price":26.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/4459\/3932\/files\/unnamed_16.jpg?v=1785966072"},{"product_id":"ariel-kalma-jeremiah-chiu-marta-sofia-honer-the-closest-thing-to-silence-2026-edition","title":"Ariel Kalma, Jeremiah Chiu, Marta Sofia Honer – The Closest Thing To Silence (2026 Edition)","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn August 2022, the late Australia-based, French born fourth-world music legend Ariel Kalma was invited to participate in BBC Radio 3's Late Junction series of special collaborations. The program pairs artists who have not previously worked together to create new music cooperatively. Kalma was quick to suggest working with two musicians whom he had never met – International Anthem recording artists Jeremiah Chiu \u0026amp; Marta Sofia Honer. An invitation was sent to Chiu and Honer, which was received with great enthusiasm, as Chiu had long been a fan of Kalma's work. After meeting their twenty minute goal for the program, Kalma, Chiu and Honer agreed that they would continue to work together to try to push the music further. Their collective approach to this work was born in improvisation and realized via collage-based editing. The end result brings several distinct musical moments — recorded sometimes decades apart — into conversation with one another, forming new narratives from building blocks of old ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor fans of: Ambient, fourth-world music, experimental electronic\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"International Anthem","offers":[{"title":"Mullumbimby Blue Vinyl 1LP","offer_id":62019741909260,"sku":"IARC77LPX","price":26.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/4459\/3932\/files\/unnamed_15.jpg?v=1785966577"}],"url":"https:\/\/12-bar.com\/collections\/international-anthem.oembed","provider":"12 Bar Music and Social","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
