{"product_id":"velvet-negroni-bulli-cd","title":"Velvet Negroni - Bulli (CD) |","description":"Back in 2017, Minneapolis-raised artist Jeremy Nutzman emerged with his debut project, NCOD, released under the moniker Velvet Negroni (a name inspired by a fancy cocktail at a bar in Austin). 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.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: CD Digipack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabel: 4AD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCatalog Number: CD-4AD-0511\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Velvet Negroni","offers":[{"title":"- FUNK\/R\u0026B *NEW*","offer_id":45077117665395,"sku":"CR6H3C-060J-FO","price":14.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0500\/7837\/files\/funk-rb-new_qI8wO.jpg?v=1780860674","url":"https:\/\/www.lovevinylrecords.com\/products\/velvet-negroni-bulli-cd","provider":"Love Vinyl Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
