Bullion nearly returns and lets Francis Ford bring L Devine into the soft-focus frame

Bullion’s Francis Ford, featuring L Devine, enters the 1 July digest as a late-cycle art-pop bright spot from the incoming album Nearly. Nathan Jenkins has been busy producing records since 2024’s Affection, but now he is returning under the Bullion name with a Ghostly International LP due 25 September. The new album also features Ethan P. Flynn on instrumentation, while L Devine appears on both Francis Ford and The Arm Of Cinderella. That detail gives the project a collaborative, character-driven feel rather than a solitary producer retreat. Bullion’s work often thrives in the space between pop craft, leftfield production and slightly surreal emotional framing, and a title like Francis Ford immediately suggests cinema, authorship and maybe a little self-conscious myth-making. Nearly sounds like an album about edges, approximations and charm that does not need to shout.
