Bullion: Nearly (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nathan Jenkins speaks about songwriting with the arcane detachment of a mage, often describing the process in passive voice. Lyrics “materialize in the shape of melodies”; he’s “not very present” for the process in general. Jenkins has expressed admiration for the way Arthur Russell creates distance between himself and a song, “[wearing] them so lightly,” then folding them up before they’ve run ragged.
