Nutrients - Different Bridges Vinyl

Nutrients is a Toronto band known for gentle and jangly pop songs. Slowly but surely, the group has slowly but surely grown into something more elaborate than their humble beginnings. Nutrients is often compared to various 90's bands for their slacker delivery, and sometimes likened to certain contemporary bedroom pop artists for their oddball pop leanings. Periodically, but decreasingly so, they are noted for their occasional dissonant digressions. Taylor Teeple began the band as a modest home recording project deep below Boulevard St-Laurent in Montreal. After relocation to Toronto, the group’s membership eventually grew to include pianist Iulia Ciobanu, bassist Sean McKee, and guitarist Will Hunter. After releasing a series of homemade tapes from 2016 - 2018, the band entered a studio for the first time to record a collection of songs with producer Louie Short. Mixed by Lounge FM’s Adam Pauls, the self-titled, debut Nutrients album was released by Birmingham, Alabama independent label Earth Libraries in late 2019. Nutrients saw 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 Such Slime, the duelling guitars of Hide & Seek, the gentle saxophone turns of Suede, and the penultimate piano ballad Hyperbole.
