Anna Butterss - Ninths

"Ninths" is an extra piece from Anna's Butterss's Mighty Vertebrate sessions, previously only available on the Japanese CD edition. The track kicks into gear with a gritty, almost post-punk sounding electric guitar figure from Gregory Uhlmann before the woozy and rhythmic drum kit of Ben Lumsdaine enters to drag the listener along in polyrhythm. Butterss's longtime collaborator and comrade Josh Johnson’s alto sax holds down the almost synth-like primary melody while drones and chirps build up in the periphery. "Ninths" almost sounds like Pornography-era Robert Smith went to jazz school and reconfigured the OG Ocarina of Time soundtrack.
