Sub Pop recording artist Bully has released new single “Atom Bomb.” The project of Alicia Bognanno most intimate song to date, is now available via the label and DSPs. The track is accompanied with a video directed by Bree Marie Fish and recorded and shot at MMK studios in Nashville, TN. Bognanno recently contributed original music to the Apple TV show Buccaneers and was featured on Militarie Gun’s recent song “Never Fucked Up Twice.”

Bognanno says, “The song was originally recorded with a drum machine and electric guitar; it was also quite a bit faster. When I played the demo for JT Daly (producer), he had the idea of moving it to the piano. I remember saying out loud, ‘Can you believe I’m trusting anybody like this?’ We both started laughing because starting off as someone who used to record, mix, and produce their own records to avoid the vulnerability that comes with working out creative ideas in the company of others, it was a huge step for me. That was our first real bonding moment, acknowledging that we were mutually up for trying new things and seeing each other’s ideas through before one of us shut it down.”

Bully is currently on a tour of North America, performing in a rare solo setting while supporting Grouplove. The tour began last night in Seattle and ends on March 30th at Terminal Five in New York City.
