Columbia's Marshall Brown Releases Emotionally Charged EP 'Nesting' Following Heartbreak and Self-Discovery

Columbia’s Marshall Brown Transforms Heartbreak into Musical Brilliance with ‘Nesting’

Hey folks! If you find yourself in the lively city of Columbia, there’s a fresh wave of musical emotion washing over us, courtesy of talented singer/songwriter Marshall Brown. His latest EP, titled ‘Nesting’, bursts with the evolutions of lost love and deep self-reflection. With its recent release, Brown is taking listeners on a journey they won’t soon forget! Can you feel the excitement?

A Deep Dive into Emotions

Now, let’s rewind a bit. When Brown was penning those impactful songs for ‘Nesting’ months ago, he described himself as being “a (expletive) mess.” Sounds intense, right? After a long-term relationship fell apart during the pandemic, Brown found himself navigating the rocky waters of heartbreak. He was in a state of flux, struggling to make sense of his tangled emotions. But rather than shying away from writing his feelings down, he embraced them. “It was just coming out of me like sweat,” he shared. Wow! Talk about raw!

After putting those initial drafts aside to focus on healing, Brown took the opportunity to learn about his own feelings and how he attaches to others—a brave endeavor! This journey of self-discovery ultimately forged a new path for him, both personally and musically. And folks, it really shows in the final product.

Returning to the Studio

With some healing under his belt and a new relationship budding, Brown returned to the studio to finish what he started. The EP is now a beautiful compilation of past emotions viewed through a fresh lens. “When I started working on these songs again, I really started building the recordings and completely recontextualized those songs,” he expressed. It seems that time was indeed on his side!

Musical Highlights in Nesting

Now, let’s get into the juicy details! Right from the opening track, ‘Peace of Mine’, you get a taste of Brown’s transformation. This piece starts as a heartfelt cry over a family member but evolves into a poignant love lament. If that doesn’t hook you, wait until you hear him sing, “Wanna let the sun have a break and let my spirit shine.” Ah, what a delightful sentiment!

And it doesn’t stop there! One of the standout tracks, ‘This Second Bird’, is a cheeky spin on one of his earlier songs, ‘First Bird’. With a playful riff that mimics the call of the white-throated sparrow—his girlfriend’s favorite bird—this song takes personal touches to a whole new level. Brown calls it a “healthy process” for him to make this connection through music.

A Glimpse into Rich Soundscapes

Then, we have the mesmerizing instrumental piece, ‘Sad Pianos: Spirits in the Soundboard’. This haunting melody, birthed in uncertain moments, dives into techno-gothic vibes and adds a deep, spiritual hint to the EP. And guess what? It’s an homage to his current partner, setting it apart from other tracks that reflect on a past relationship. How sweet is that?

Creative Collaborations

While Brown took a hands-on approach in writing, producing, and recording ‘Nesting’, he also partnered with the talented Dylan Dickerson from Dear Blanca. Their collaboration brings out a unique aspect of Brown’s music, showcasing diverse production styles and his passion for pushing artistic boundaries.

According to Dickerson, who was amazed by Brown’s work, the EP is “very immersive,” featuring ambient elements that resonate beautifully throughout the record. It’s clear that Brown is evolving as an artist, growing more profound and artistic with each step.

The Road Ahead

Hold onto your hats, folks, because Marshall Brown is not stopping here. With ‘Nesting’ now available on platforms like Spotify, Bandcamp, and Apple Music, he’s already teasing us with new music on the horizon. Who knows where his musical journey will lead next?
