Currents - Our Fates Lie in Tandem LP

Currents spent a decade grinding out five EPs and three full-lengths, most recently 2023's The Death We Seek, before finally landing on Rise Records for album number four. Guitarist Chris Wiseman produced it himself, and singer Brian Wille calls it the band's most personal record, mixing social commentary with plain heartbreak. The lead single, "Retributioner," goes after the idea that success means selling out your principles, a theme that runs through the same five-piece lineup, Wille, Wiseman, Ryan Castaldi, Matt Young, and Christian Pulgarin, that has carried the band for over a decade.
