Love + Pop

LOVE + POP’ is a snapshot of a moment in not-so-far-away time; something fast, loud, moody and a little dangerous. It is, in some ways, classic Current Joys: full of wild ambition, sneaky hooks, and songs that move from concept to completion with prolific speed. The story of ‘LOVE + POP’ begins with one of those house parties: the kind that bulldozes your home and, in its aftermath, leaves a wreckage that finds you flattened but also ready to be new. In that mess and mayhem, Nick Rattigan aka Current Joys, watched ‘Everybody’s Everything’, the documentary of Lil Peep, and recorded a cover of ‘walk away as the door slams’. But the itch wasn’t scratched, and what began as a moment of homage morphed into something bigger, deeper and more fundamental, a point where the seemingly haphazard - in his home, in Peep’s process - opened Rattigan up to an entire creative space and a new approach to bending or even detonating genre. Features include Lil Yachty, Oddbody, Slow Hollows, Your Angel and Brutus VIII.
