Bully has shared a brand new electric version of live favourite 'Atom Bomb'

Bully has released a reworked version of 'Atom Bomb - Electric Version', available now via Sub Pop.

The track, which originally appeared in February 2024, has been reimagined following its popularity during live performances throughout the past year.

"I think that if a song is written well enough at its core, it should be able to translate a similar emotion regardless of its form. I wanted to test that theory with Atom Bomb," Alicia Bognanno explains. "Releasing a solo piano song for the first time and playing it live 10 years into my career to a room full of strangers falling silent without request resurrects a sense of boundlessness in me that reinstates what I try to tell myself anytime I find myself fearful of stepping outside of the box people expect to remain in, and that is - if I really want to grow I should stop fearing what I don't know."

"I still have nights where my mind goes blank from performance anxiety, and I have to pause mid-song to regain my composure, but even when I feel like I couldn't have fallen apart more on stage, I still can recognize that I survived and that it's okay," she continues. "I played and mixed all of this version of Atom Bomb in my room except for drums which were recorded and played by JT Daly. Coming from an analog background, it feels good to release something that I know isn't autotuned or on a grid; it's genuine and imperfect in a way that I feel suits the song best. Whether or not it translates well is subjective, but regardless, I was fulfilled by the process and experimentation of it all."

Bognanno spent much of last year touring in support of her album 'Lucky For You', opening for Suki Waterhouse and Grouplove, and featured on Blondshell's single 'Docket'. She is currently writing her next album.
