2xLP 140 gram black vinyl - Gatefold jacket with double-sided insert - Includes bonus LP-only tracks and interludes // Hear Current Joys tear through a live set of fan favorites recorded last winter at Kilby Court in Salt Lake City, Utah. This 14 track double LP is the first time one of Current Joys' visceral live performances has been captured for vinyl and released digitally online. The four-piece plays full-band arrangements of Current Joys classics like "Blondie" "Kids" and "My Motorcycle" as well as a new unreleased track "Altered States." Recorded February 22, 2019, at Kilby Court in Salt Lake City, Utah Guitar & Vocals: Nick Rattigan Keys & Vocals: Maddy Boyd Bass: Aaron Jassenoff Drums: Jackson Katz "Current Joys (and its former incarnation TELE/VISIONS) is the quiet and affecting solo project of Nick Rattigan (...) You can affix it with any number of labels - minimalist bedroom pop, spare indie balladry - but whatever the assignation, the music is devastatingly pure. (...) Current Joys is the rare project that manages to transcend its simplistic trappings and achieve something like musical grace. " [Alex McLevy] - AV Club "Nick Rattigan sings and plays drums in the surf-rock band Surf Curse, but he's been doing more and more with the solo bedroom pop songs he writes under the name Current Joys. Propelled by sinewy guitar lines and sweeping synths, songs like "Fear" reflect on the underbelly of modern life without resorting to self-pity. " [Stephen Thomson] - NPR Music
