LP – Black Vinyl (2024 Repress).

Nourished By Time‘s debut album, Erotic Probiotic 2, tells his transformative story through impeccable songwriting, infectious ear worm melodies, vivid storytelling and intimate DIY production. The album traveresses a broad spectrum of sound, allowing his songwriting to dictate the ever changing mood he orchestrates; whether it is love or loss. Sitting somewhere between indie, pop, alternative RnB, ultimately carving out a fresh sound defined by his vulnerable vocals, raw guitar licks and undeniable groove.

The album was recorded mostly in 2021 – 22 in his parents basement in Baltimore. At this time, I was in a beautiful and formative relationship that was running its course. Songs like Unbreak My Love and Rain Water Promise come from that place of dealing with the end. A story of lovers parting and making sense of the battling feelings of resentment and longing. As well as the existential aspect of having to end of a relationship. All while with dealing long-time depression, songs like lead single Quantum Suicide and Shed That Fear exhibit the importance of choosing to live and that getting out of pits of despair requires tremendous amounts of effort and intention and is a very difficult lifelong task. Whilst other tracks such as The Fields and Daddy and Workers Interlude are attempts at trying to aim my anger at productive targets like Capitalism which both songs are a critique of.

Originally released on London label Scenic Route, Erotic Probiotic 2 was critically acclaimed, picking up Pitchforks ‘Best New Music’ and was widely regarded as one of the Best Albums of 2023 with features on Gorilla vs Bear (#1), Pitchfork (#5), The Guardian, The Fader, Paste and more.
