Current Joys
Nicholas Rattigan better known as Current Joys is an artist who oozes a laid back vibe that gets under your skin. I just love what he does. In addition to five studio albums released so far he is also the leader singer and drummer in the two man indie surf rock band, Surf Curse. He has changed his stage name several times but settled on Current Joys. He retitled all his previous work to Current Joys in 2015. 'Wild Heart' was his debut album and 'My Blood' is a song that captures that sound that makes me want to chill.
'New flesh' is another great song on 'Wild Heart'. This song has a pretty sad connection to the Vines Celebrity Emma Greer aka Gibberton who did a short vines of the song just before she died from cancer. I can't find the vines video but the lyrics are hauntingly sad.
'My Different Age' was Current Joys first release on Danger Collective. 'In a Year of 13 Moons' was the third single from the album and it is a song to love.
Current Joys released a new album "Love + Pop' earlier this year on the indie label Secretly Canadian. I am sure it will grow his legion of fans.
Current Joys will be playing a show in LA and another one in New York in November before heading off to Europe to do a show in London, Paris and Berlin in December. Check out their website if you are interested in tickets and dates.
