NEW MUSIC: GORGEOUS BULLY – “BULLRING”

I don’t care about production values, I care about songs. I’d like to assume that’s the common ground that Gorgeous Bully and I share, but they’re probably far smarter than that.

“Bullring” is a ‘song’, no doubt. But it also embraces ‘lo-fi’ as an instrument, not just a consequence of circumstance. I wouldn’t want to hear “Bullring” cleaned up, because it’s charms are in its imperfections, in the possibilities it suggests not in what it actually is. Absence is its essence. And it’s that contrariness that keeps drawing me back.
