Activities - Anna Butterss
Anna Butterss’ Activities was born out of a chance studio invitation, a one-day session that slowly evolved into the encompassing, electro-acoustic opus they eventually crafted. Alongside co-producer and mixer Pete Min of the label Colorfield Records, the bassist-turned-songwriter recruited collaborators Josh Johnson, Ben Lumsdaine, and Christian Euman to flesh out their compositions. These songs, created through a process of improvisation, processing, and layering, are deeply personal to Butterss, a collection of reflections on life in a foreign country, grief, and family.
