Bullion Roo action

Nathan Jenkins, known for his sharp ear for melody and atmosphere, has been busy crafting sounds that perfectly bottle the energy of the past. Following his collaborative work on the Avalon Emerson & The Charm album, Jenkins recently unveiled his own project, Bullion, ushering in a new era defined by meticulously crafted synth-pop.

The journey began with the release of the album Nearly, which set a high bar for sonic elegance. The introduction to this new sound arrived with the lead single, “Francis Ford.” This track immediately drew attention for its sophisticated blend of classic pop structure and contemporary flair.

But the sonic exploration didn’t stop there. The follow-up single, “Roo,” has now hit the airwaves, offering an even deeper dive into Jenkins’ signature style. Like his previous release, “Roo” is a masterclass in nostalgic sound design, expertly weaving the intricate, meticulous pop stylings reminiscent of Sting’s era with the driving, synth-driven textures that defined the 1980s.

The resulting music doesn’t just recall the past; it reinterprets it for today. It’s a sound that manages to feel both utterly retro and strikingly fresh, creating an atmosphere that feels both familiar and wonderfully unexpected.

Fans looking for a specific kind of nostalgic groove—perhaps imagining Westerman collaborating with Nation Of Language—will find that the energy of “Roo” delivers exactly that sophisticated, synth-heavy experience. It’s music built on careful construction and vibrant emotion, offering listeners an invitation to step into a perfectly curated 80s landscape.
