Bulli (LP)

Created during a particularly tumultuous time in Nutzman's life that involved drug abuse, bank fraud, and a house fire, it's unsurprising that Bulli would echo Velvet Negroni's present state of mind. Bulli feels anticipatory, often frantic and manic but given the period of his life that it emerged from its songs glimmer with a pop sheen, as fragmentary soundscapes meld leftfield electronic sounds with alternative rock, power pop, even tender R&B and deft hip-hop.
