Today, Bullion shares new song “Hula” and announces EP We Had A Good Time, out 28th of February on his own label, DEEK Recordings. In early 2018, Nathan Jenkins (Bullion) returned from the coast of Arrábida to his new home studio, in a cottage tucked behind the grand hotel setting of Wim Wenders’ Lisbon Story. Breaking for lunches under a Datura tree in the garden and a far cry from the Finsbury Park basement flat he rented the previous year, a set of recordings followed that galvanised into an E.P. – We Had A Good Time, music informed by out-of-town trips in a 1987 Renault 9 Super, impromptu car park hulas and solo cinema bliss. The new E.P. manufactures a modern chamber music from pitch-shifted keys, bent, tremolo`d notes and twisted toms. Sets rueful reflections to disco pops and claps. Pizzicato patterns. Harmonies honed from a microtone maze. We Had A Good Time follows Nathan’s 2016 album, Loop The Loop and other solo efforts gracing labels, R&S, Young Turks, Whities and The Trilogy Tapes. Blue Pedro, on the latter, making it into Crack Mag`s Top 100 Tracks Of The Decade. DEEK Recordings, which Nathan started in 2012, carries the tag-line and aesthetic, Pop, not slop! – illustrated by an ongoing play-list of the same name and is further explored in a series of compilations where Nathan and friends cover and reinterpret unsung “unclassics”. From alt. country to obscure `80s European art-house scores. The latest compilation in the series, 4 Down came out in October last year.
We Had A Good Time is out 28th of February on DEEK Recordings.
