Currents have shared an official video for their new single “Retributioner.” That track will appear on their new album, “Our Fates Lie In Tandem,” which will be out on February 12. The band commented on the single:
“We’re told that to get anywhere in life you need to abandon your principles and cut through others as they would to you, fostering a sense of war-mindedness regarding those we compete with, debate with, and don’t agree with. ‘Retributioner’ seeks to dismantle those ideas, even if it means dismantling the structures and systems perpetuating them.”
Vocalist Brian Wille also discussed the album:
“There’s some social commentary and a little bit of heartbreak too. I brought the wall down, so I could be more personal than ever before. ‘Our Fates Lie in Tandem’ is not heavy for the sake of being heavy either. We agreed a track doesn’t need to be ‘a walking breakdown’ in order to make an impact. So, you’re getting the lows, the highs, and everything in between. There’s a reason for each element and meaning behind every word.”
The band added:
“Putting this record together has been an intense, multi-year process that has challenged our existing framework of songwriting. We took no shortcuts in building these songs up to be the best and most cohesive of our career. While it wasn’t quick or easy to make this album, watching and participating in this project, from demos to the final masters, has been such a satisfying and cathartic experience.”
