His unique soundscapes brought him to big audiences and bigger fans: sampled by Kanye West, touring with Bon Iver, and signed to 4AD for the release of his acclaimed 2019 album Neon Brown. A few years later, he is gearing up for the release of his propulsive new album Bulli, a record that trembles with a slick and polished new intensity following a relatively tumultuous life period. “I started using drugs again in a negative manner,” he says, “And felt like I lost all my friends or their respect. And then there was Covid, and I was at home, then my CashApp got hacked. And because of that I got paranoid as fuck for a long time and stayed in the house.” The result is an album on which Nutzman cannot fully hear himself. It glimmers with an almost-uncomfortable pop sheen, with lead single ‘Sinker’ whirring with a strutting positivity and rich instrumentation that is at stark odds with the lyrics. Touchstones of leftfield electronic sounds meld with nods to alternative rock, power pop, even tender R\u0026amp;B and deft hip-hop. It’s a record that holds something anticipatory, at times almost frantic and manic, occasionally even sexy and breathy . Given the period of his life that it emerged from, it’s understandable that Nutzman would feel fraught and uncertain listening back, it’s a deeply accomplished album which swirls with fragmentary soundscapes pushing ever forward into somewhere that feels new and vital.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePop Song 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNever Said Peep\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePop Song 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSinker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBell Clapper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEbony Eggshell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBallad Smaller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShiny\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeorgia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForeigner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnimal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSub Tieties\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"3","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":50792614134056,"sku":"19140005112","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/3833\/7576\/files\/4137482-2934514.jpg?v=1763992661","url":"https:\/\/waterloorecords.com\/products\/velvet-negroni-bulli-cd-19140005112","provider":"Waterloo Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
