Velvet Negroni 'Bulli' LP

Minneapolis-raised artist Jeremy Nutzman, the brainchild behind Velvet Negroni, releases a second album. Whirring with a strutting positivity and rich instrumentation, lead single ‘Sinker’ is accompanied by an official video directed by Casey Anderson.

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 his 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.
