Bullion - Affection (Clear Vinyl)

Bullion is Nathan Jenkins, one of electronic music’s most enduring cult figures - an artist, producer, songwriter and lynchpin quietly to be found connecting artists, genre, and UK subculture. His credits range from Carly Rae Jepsen, Ben Howard, Nilüfer Yanya and Avalon Emerson’s breakout album & The Charm to records for Westerman and Joviale. Bullion’s celebrated solo releases, meanwhile, have run parallel on Young, The Trilogy Tapes, Jagjaguwar and his own DEEK Recordings. Across his LP Affection, Bullion’s uncompromising approach is strengthened, in part, by softening. Masculinity, intimacy, and other contemporary concerns are punctuated by old-world charms, found in the ‘hat stands and watches’ referenced in several tracks. Affection ultimately asks how we understand people, but in being more vulnerable at least attempts to care a little less about what they think, too.
