Briston Maroney "Body"
Produced by 2x GRAMMY®-winner Daniel Tashian (KaceyMusgraves) and engineered by Konrad Snyder (Noah Kahan,Rainbow Kitten Surprise), Ultrapure was handcrafted inMaroney’s adopted hometown of Nashville, TN and showcases the multi-facetedartist playing every single instrument.
The album marks a confident, cohesive, and deeply personal body of workfrom the young singer-songwriter.
Of its genesis,Maroney shares: My favorite moments in the human experience areones that you don’t even realize have started, but feel so deeply when yourealize they’ve ended. I refer to these as ‘Ultrapure’ moments. This album wasmy humble, unqualified, and earnest as hell attempt at sitting in thosefeelings until they had no choice but to burst out of my head. These songs areabout a type of pain I hate and love, but mostly have a deep appreciation for.
Also announced today is news of thesecond annual ‘Paradise Festival,’ set to return to BrooklynBowl Nashville this fall (October 12-14). Last year’s sold-outinaugural edition was curated in its entirety by Maroney, who closed out each night withhigh-energy and celebratory headline sets. Featuring a handpicked lineupof peers and with a portion of proceeds supporting Nashville-based nonprofits,the annual event further cements Maroney’s status as an artist who “hashelped define a new generation of local music” (Nashville Scene).
Maroney has also unveiled plans for a headline UK/EU tour insupport of the forthcoming LP, set for this fall. The run will kick offin Brighton, UK on October 31 and culminatein Cologne, Germany on November 16, with stopsin London, Paris, Amsterdam, and many morecities in between [all upcoming tour dates enclosed below].
