Currents – All That Follows (Colored Vinyl, Blue, Black, Orange, Splatter)

Controlling chaos by hand, Currents balance invention and innate intensity on their new EP “All That Follows”. Especially strong, the quintet’s closing track “Rise & Fall” revolves around propulsive drums, a riff call-and-response and a hook that holds onto the vestiges of a crumbling institution before asking a final query: How will this end? With sold out shows and 100M streams, for Currents, the only answer is upwards.
