On August 22nd 2025, Baltimore singer-songwriter and producer Nourished By Time will release his highly anticipated new album The Passionate Ones via XL Recordings. Crafted between Baltimore, London, and NYC, The Passionate Ones is a sermon, a twelve-track catharsis, howled from the underbelly of late-stage capitalism, a blueprint for building your own altar in the ruins of the American Dream.

Initially created in Los Angeles’ in late 2019, Nourished By Time emerged as Marcus Browns escape from the monotony of his day jobs and a continuously crushed spirit by an increasingly corrupt world. Channeling his deeply personal and sharply observational visions into songwriting, Brown has created a singular sonic world shaped by his hometown of Baltimores rich and eclectic musical heritage where jazz, punk, indie, hip hop, electronic and R&B collide in raw harmony. On The Passionate Ones, Brown tackles love, labor, existentialism, dreams, disillusionment, and hope through the lens of metamodernism, documenting an American story of an artist using their vices to keep them afloat while they follow their passions and dreams.

The Passionate Ones arrives in the wake of a radiant ascent. With Erotic Probiotic 2 (Scenic Route), Nourished by Time cracked open 2023earning Pitchforks Best New Music and topping Gorilla vs Bears year-end list, while drawing praise from The Guardian, The FADER, Paste, and more. 2024s Catching Chickens (XL) only deepened the allure: CRACK Magazine placed him on its cover, naming Hell of a Ride the track of the year. The song echoed across NPR, Resident Advisor, CLASH, The FACE, Mixmag, UPROXX, and Spotifys Best Songs of 2024 lists, and he performed a magnetic live performance on The Late Show with Stephen Colberts #LateShowMeMusic live series. Along the way, Nourished By Times voice threaded through collaborations with Yaeji, Kacy Hill, and evilgiane, a spectral remix of Dry Cleanings Gary Ashby, and tours with Metronomy, Panda Bear, and Toro y Moi, solidifying his position as one of contemporary music’s most intriguing and vital new artists.
