Description

Marietta is named after the town outside of Atlanta, Georgia where Nicholas Carpenter grew up. The songs cover the central tenets of his time there: his parents looking for opportunity, his relationship with the church and the angst and longing of his adolescence. The images from the EP’s artwork were all shot at a series of hometown locations by Silken Weinberg, including the street where Carpenter grew up and the abandoned Sears where his father once worked. “Marietta is more so a zoom out of my childhood,” explains Carpenter. “Extending grace to my family. To myself. I just wanna thank myself and my parents for surviving my childhood.” Released exclusively on 12” vinyl for Record Store Day 2025, the Marietta EP comes on the heels of Medium Build’s critically acclaimed full-length debut, Country, released in 2024 on Slowplay/Island Records.
