nourished by time

answers the question "what if the blue nile made freestyle" and so many more, released one of the very best albums of last year and already has new material on the way

two tracks from his new ep, catching chickens (out march 22) were premiered here: https://www.nts.live/shows/the-breakfast-show-flo/episodes/the-breakfast-show-flo-31st-january-2024

"hand on me" at 1:24:51

"hell of a ride" at 1:37:59

both sound great

he's also said there's a new album, the passionate ones planned for later this year too

He/they opened for Dry Cleaning last year, was a revelation kind of like L’Rain’s live set.

Kinda interesting interview with them

here's the official release of "hand on me"

catching chickens is indeed out 22 march

yeah saw them open for Dry Cleaning and it was like, mind blown

my fav track is https://nourishedbytime.bandcamp.com/track/mac

i do like "hand on me," it doesn't live up to the highlights from the last album, but what does?

oh "romance in me" is on the ep too, i still need to dig through all the pre-album material because there's like a whole album's worth

confirmed all the pre-album tracks are wonderful, he should put out a compilation of them all

i'm interested especially because you said "arthur russell does freestyle" and ufo said "blue nile does freestyle" in the original thread

re: this from the other thread yeah those three are all very good reference points for their vibe which is really something special

Love a lot of this stuff, but I just have to drop in a little shout for the rework of Dry Cleaning's "Gary Ashby," which is super-charming and really clever. (Every tortoise deserves explosions and chase scenes!)

dang i love this ^

Yeah finally got around to a listen to some of his stuff the other day -- really good!

thirding the live show, definitely the best solo+laptop set I've seen

the new ep rules, of course

here is a spotify playlist of all the non-ep/lp tracks, chronologically.

if it wasn't already clear, i am completely on board here.

also i've figured out who this reminds me of!

terence trent d'arby / sananda maitreya. no malice intended in either direction -- it's the "genres-melting-together-in-real-time" feeling. love love love!

or wait -- no!

ttd / sm if they were in the associates!

whatever the case, this is definitely approved for all audiences.

opening track exactly the sort of weird banger i'd hoped for

compiling that odds+ends playlist, i've already found a "lost" gem in the back catalogue-

tesia+nourished by time - "that's the way it goes" (2022)

idk who tesia is, but they have other stuff on streaming that's also very worthwhile. kinda losing the plot here, but check out their latest thing from february:

tesia - "when the sun goes down" (2024)

"Had Ya Called" off the new EP, damn

marcus made a playlist for interview mag, it's an eclectic collection that gives good insight to where their head is at: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4BX0AMtjsGYR0HOAMTmAYv?si=b8372a2cfe4a40d8

the new ep is unsurprisingly excellent, "hell of a ride," "had ya called," and "romance in me" (not to mention "hand on me") are some of the best things i've heard from them

Very much looking to see the live show here in a couple of months.

he came out and did Gary Ashby with Dry Cleaning tonight, really great

EP is absolutely fire.

got a ticket for the Toronto show

"i guess i got my answer"

awesome show yesterday, the earlier solo setup didn't feel limiting or anything but having two more musicians now (incl. phenomenal bassist) opens up so many possibilities for Marcus's performance / means of inhabiting the music

Nice. Will be seeing him a week from tonight.

I missed seeing him on a midweek night up in Baltimore recently. need to go see him sometime
