Current Joys on Audiotree Live (Full Session)

Download & stream Current Joys on Audiotree Live -- smarturl.it/AT-Current-Joys
Nick Rattigan is the visual artist, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter behind yelpy, post-punk inflected indie bands Surf Curse and Current Joys. He created Current Joys as a way to unify his mutual love for film and music, and subsequently directed multiple music videos for the project. The grimy, thunderous songs themselves exist to free Rattigan from generalized anxiety as they embody the cyclical entrapment of the disorder while offering catharsis for those who share his experience.
Recorded on April 4, 2018 in Chicago, IL.

I think it's funny that he was singing "get away from me" while they were trying to put his headphones back on.

[@justlore3520]

Robbie T and he started singing “Get away from me” 😂 lmaaaooo

[@TheTannerWoodward]

He played through the wiring muting his strings and the headphones flying everywhere and he kept singing and making beautiful music. If that isn’t dedication then I don’t even know what is

I fucking love when his headphones fly off! He stays in the moment. It's hard to find decent music these days.....I found it!

[@angeldelvillar8013]

I want to shout out one of my Uber passengers, Felix, who on the first day of his job introduced me to Current Joys as we drove down PCH & shared a joint in my car. Hope all is well brother 🤘

[@currentteeth4078]

whatta vibe. i love california

[@nileshrathi4759]

It has been just a month when I had discovered Current Joys, accidentally. I was giving a mock exam, and "A Different Age" was playing on tv downstairs. The music caught my ear, and I was thinking what have I just heard, the beats entrenched in my mind. After the exam, I came to know about this band. Since then, I have been hooked on Current Joys, each of their songs has ingenious music and Nick's unique pressing voice makes it wholesome.

[@fattmusiek5452]

holy FUCK the headphones flying off and audiotree recording. That was rock, damn. Didn't drop the vocals or energy. Wow. Epic

[@joeq8098]

His voice reminds me of a heavier sounding version of The Cure

[@javierescudero7686]

That's exactly what he was going for I think

[@kdevus]

@@javierescudero7686 Yeah no doubt. Reminds me of like a kind of young Roy Orbison vibe too...

[@mrbond2001]

Some say he listens to the cure and then he cries

[@redrider736]

I was racking my brAin for what sound that they reminded me of! The Cure, your exactly correct 🤙

[@daphnetruman]

Totes

[@suckthefartouttamybutt1642]

im stating this now, Nick is a musical and creative genius and will be considered a legend one day. kinda like how prince is seen.

[@kessler420]

i agree with that, maybe not prince tier though

[@Dprest-nd4yc]

I don't think he is a genius since what he does doesn't have much science, however I find him really creative and expressive which is hard to achieve these days.

[@Maloud24]

some Jeff Buckley's vibe
