Back in January we talked to Anna Butterss, the LA-based bassist with too many cool affiliations to keep track of. (SML, Jeff Parker’s ETA IVtet, Makaya McCraven, Jason Isbell, boygenius, Neko Case, Flea… the list goes on.) Butterrs also makes solo albums, though as you might expect, they tend to feature a bunch of the other great musicians in their orbit.

Emerging at the end of rap’s mixtape era and thriving at the dawn of streaming, the swaggy, triplet-happy Atlanta rap trio Migos built up one of the most appealing catalogs of any 2010s rap act: lacing our playlists with heater after heater, topping the charts with “Bad And Boujee,” and, with 2017’s Culture, delivering a classic album. That legendary run eventually petered out. The various members pursued their solo careers. And then, seemingly, the Migos project came to an end with Takeoff’s death in November 2022.

On New Year’s Day, the Madison garage-punk band Wristwatch unleashed their album III on the world. Wristwatch frontman Bobby Hussy has another band called Whippets — which is more of a poppy ’90s alt-rock exercise cut with grooving, post-punky Y2K-era indie — and now they’re rolling out a new album too.
