Current Joys - the project of Nick Rattigan sign to Secretly Canadian for its seventh album, Voyager. Voyager rattles with the live-wire feeling that's thrummed through all of Rattigan's previous releases: quavering, scream-itself-hoarse vocals and self-interrogation via song. But here, that bristling, sentimental rock 'n' roll cacophony is overlaid with a soundtrack orchestra guiding it along. It's an odyssey, a grand-sounding journey of self-discovery spread across sixteen tracks. Part ekphrasis, part personal, it's Rattigan learning new ways to understand his own feelings and identity while inspired by the highly-stylized, striking storytelling of filmmakers like Alfred Hitchcock, Lars Von Trier, Terrence Malick, Agnàö¬Æs Varda, and Andrei Tarkovsky. Voyager, Rattigan's most mature release to date, is an evolution built on Current Joys' prolific output since 2013.
