Nutrients

About

Nutrients is a Toronto band that plays gentle and jangly pop songs. The group is often compared to various 90&#39;s bands for their slacker delivery, but also likened to certain contemporary bedroom pop artists for their oddball pop leanings. Sometimes, but decreasingly so, they are noted for their occasional dissonant digressions. After releasing a series of homemade tapes from 2016 - 2018, the band entered the studio to record a collection of songs with <a href="spotify:artist:1yr48L5ROYSDR0swBTOirD" data-name="Louie Short">Louie Short</a>. Mixed by <a href="spotify:artist:6hc0mVCpacCeXn2M8O8nj5" data-name="Lounge FM">Lounge FM</a>’s Adam Pauls, the self-titled, debut Nutrients album was released by Birmingham, Alabama independent label <a href="spotify:playlist:2Luz44qLlNFLYD4Nx9PxMM" data-name="Earth Libraries">Earth Libraries</a> in late 2019. &#34;<a href="spotify:album:2vqcLerFujSgbwzVupYgoZ" data-name="Nutrients">Nutrients</a>&#34; sees the band’s softly-sung, breezy guitar pop evolve into something more compositionally dynamic. The 9-song, 28-minute record is mostly carefree and casual, yet occasionally tightly-wound and unpredictable. Highlights include the shapeshifting lounge pop of <a href="spotify:album:1Xezq94r5s5yAzBh8Vufcc" data-name="Such Slime">Such Slime</a>, the duelling guitars of <a href="spotify:track:0k9ZHAXJTQ96famBB3UOwL" data-name="Hide &amp; Seek">Hide &amp; Seek</a>, the gentle saxophone turns of <a href="spotify:track:6QdSt2QNmluq9h1obykjiX" data-name="Suede">Suede</a>, and the penultimate piano ballad <a href="spotify:album:73gqTPqRdOjHYJxVdQUZBM" data-name="Hyperbole">Hyperbole</a>. But now Nutrients has come roaring back for the ‘20s, having spent the pandemic mining for fresh and forgotten sounds alongside a new member in multi-instrumentalist Ben Fukuzawa. The fruits of their labour are proudly on display on their brand new album Different Bridges. (bio by Lucy Fontaine) instagram: &#64;_nutrients_
