Nourished By Time is the musical alter ego of Baltimore’s Marcus Brown, who fuses post-punk, New Wave, R&B, and electro-funk into an emotionally charged and idiosyncratic blend of soul and critique. His music reads like a diary from the underbelly of late capitalism: sharply observational, dreamlike, and laced with bitter romanticism. Breakout release 'Erotic Probiotic 2' (2023) and follow-up 'Catching Chickens' (2024) earned him praise from Pitchfork, The Guardian, and The FADER – and a record deal with XL Recordings for his forthcoming debut album 'The Passionate Ones'. As a true metamodernist, Brown moves between irony and sincerity, hope and disillusionment, with songs that both comfort and resonate.

Joviale makes music that feels like a performance: drama emerges from the tension between pop sensibility and something more cerebral and sensory. A multidisciplinary artist from North London, they grew up as a theatre kid and now channel that expressive energy into a unique world where visual art, performance, and music intersect. After the well-received 'Hurricane Belle' EP in 2021 – praised by the likes of Pitchfork and Crack Magazine – Joviale deliberately stepped out of the spotlight to grow and learn. In 2025, they return to the stage, ready to share new work.
