Out Now: Nourished By Time – The Passionate Ones

Baltimore singer-songwriter and producer Nourished By Time releases 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 Brown’s 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 Baltimore’s 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 meta-modernism, documenting an American story of an artist using their vices to keep them afloat while they follow their passions and dreams. Selections shared ahead of The Passionate Ones include acclaimed singles ‘Max Potential,’ ‘9 2 5,’ and ‘BABY BABY‘ – each earning significant praise (Best Songs of 2025 So Far, Contender for Song of the Year, Best New Music), from outlets such as Pitchfork, NPR, The Needle Drop, Gorilla vs Bear, Stereogum, Paste and Time Magazine.

The Passionate Onesis available now as a LP (black and crystal clear), CD and to stream on all digital platforms.
