In early 2018, Nathan Jenkins (Bullion) returned from the coast of Arrabida to his new home studio, in a cottage tucked behind the grand hotel setting of Wim Wenders' Lisbon Story. Breaking for lunches under a Datura tree in the garden and a far cry from the Finsbury Park basement flat he rented the previous year, a set of recordings followed that galvanised into an E.P. - We Had A Good Time, music informed by out-of-town trips in a 1987 Renault 9 Super, impromptu car park hulas and solo cinema bliss. The new E.P. manufactures a modern chamber music from pitch-shifted keys, bent, tremolod notes and twisted toms. Sets rueful reflections to disco pops and claps. Pizzicato patterns. Harmonies honed from a microtone maze. We Had A Good Time follows Nathan's 2016 album, Loop The Loop and other solo efforts gracing labels, R&S, Young Turks, Whities and The Trilogy Tapes. Blue Pedro, on the latter, making it into Crack Mags Top 100 Tracks Of The Decade.
