3 mins read

2023 was a transformative year for the Baltimore singer-songwriter and producer, Nourished By Time. His critically-acclaimed debut album, Erotic Probiotic 2 picked up by Pitchfork’s ‘Best New Music’ and featured on ‘Best Of 2023’ lists on Gorilla vs Bear (#1), Pitchfork (#5), The Guardian, The Fader, Paste and more. He collaborated with Yaeji on ‘Happy’ from her debut album With A Hammer and remixed Dry Cleaning’s ‘Gary Ashby’, who he also supported on tour. Meanwhile, he embarked across Europe for his debut headline tour before returning to the US to open for Vagabon.

Nourished By Time today follows that up with the release of his new EP Catching Chickens. Written between 2022 – 2023 in his home studio in Baltimore, Catching Chickens takes inspiration from the iconic scene in Rocky II where his trainer makes him chase and catch chickens as a test of agility. With tracks like ‘Hell of a Ride,’ in which Nourished By Time contemplates the fall of the American empire and late-stage capitalism loneliness, and ‘Had Ya Called’, which deals with the frustrations of growing distance in friendships, Nourished By Time chronicles his own test of agility as he weaves through the motions of his newfound notability.
