The album out Tuesday 28 May through Equal Vision was self-recorded and produced in Texas and proved to be an invigorating and worthwhile process.
The new album sees Eisley's more prominent bass and guitar lines, a song written and sung by lead guitarist Chauntelle DuPree-D'Agostino and guest performances from Merriment and Say Anything's Max Bemis.
"Currents is honestly the first time we've had total and complete free reign over the making of one of our records and it felt so liberating. We were able to dig deeper musically; there are lusher arrangements and more abstract themes. I feel like we really were able to experiment this time in the studio while still enjoying doing what we love...which is essentially writing pop songs," explains vocalist/guitarist Sherri DuPree-Bemis.
"I think our fans have always appreciated that Eisley doesn't sound exactly like every other band and I think we've succeeded in taking that element a bit further on this record. We're more confident as a band than we have ever been. I think the people that have always loved the darker, whimsical side of our sound will be very pleased with the songs on this record while the people who have enjoyed what's melodic, simple and sweet about Eisley will be quite pleased as well. The title Currents, to me, is relevant to how we feel as a band at this point in our career. The current is constantly moving and flowing no matter what and that's what we've always done together and plan to keep doing."
‘Currents’ is the follow-up to their debut ‘The Valley’, released in 2011 and a five track EP, ‘Deep Space’, released in 2012.
