Marcus Elliot Brown, known professionally as Nourished by Time, is an American singer, songwriter, and record producer from Baltimore, Maryland. Blending lo-fi synth-pop, post-punk textures and early-'90s R&B, Brown received widespread critical notice for his 2023 debut album Erotic Probiotic 2, which was awarded Best New Music by Pitchfork. Follow-up releases—the Catching Chickens EP (2024) and album The Passionate Ones (2025)—mark his move to XL Recordings and have cemented his reputation as "a DIY pop star who turns every limitation into an asset."
