"Arthur Russell meets Daft Punk but deep RnB, the only new music I absolutely swear is next level" Oneohtrix Point Never (New Yorker)
"Baltimore's Marcus Brown manages to stir a totally original stew of sounds" The Guardian
"A DIY pop star who turns every limitation into an asset." Pitchfork
"He's giving us a view into a brilliant mind, his self-taught talents and the strangely captivating thoughts that roam through his brain. It's a place worth spending some time." Resident Advisor
Crafted between Baltimore, London, and NYC, The Passionate Ones is a sermon, a twelve-track catharsis, howled from the underbelly of late-stage capitalism, a blueprint for building your own altar in the ruins of the American Dream.
"Marcus Brown is a diehard romantic. His second album as Nourished By Time might be darker and more dystopian than his critically acclaimed debut, but at its core remains a bloody, beating heart. Absorbing and cinematic, The Passionate Ones expands Brown's unique vision for post-R&B: his aching, tremulous, earthy vocals swim under rolling Baltimore club breakbeats, flickering synths, gated reverb and uncanny looping samples. And all the while, he makes a plea for big feelings in the face of a numbing world." The Guardian
