Herethey reconvene a group of trusted longtime\u003cbr\u003ecollaborators 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.\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.","brand":"ORBICOM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59494657294671,"sku":"485568","price":65.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1052\/0546\/5423\/files\/485568-Product-0-I-639256538402210577.jpg?v=1794584156","url":"https:\/\/orbicom.shop\/products\/vinyl-butterss-anna-mighty-vertebrate-skull-colour-vinyl-lp-colour-may-vary","provider":"ORBICOM","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
