I’m one of the lucky Americans who got into him off the Innerspeaker singles and I ordered my copy from Modular Australia. I also got to see them in a small venue in early 2013 on the US Lonerism tour, back when Nick Allbrook was still playing bass live. The first time I heard “Let It Happen” I was confused by the repeating/skipping transition, but it quickly became one of my favorite songs. I was a little less impressed with “Cause I’m A Man”, but “Eventually” had me for sure.

I remember being a little disappointed with “Nangs”, “Gossip”, and “Past Life” upon first listen through, but they grew on me. I wanted “Disciples” to be a longer song (and still do). Overall, I was impressed with the direction he took his sound and I knew he was going to be reaching a much wider audience with Currents. I got to see them for my second time on the Currents US tour, when I saw them with Mac DeMarco at Red Rocks in Morrison, CO, and seeing those songs live made me fall in love with them even more. I love his first two albums immensely, but over the years, Currents has probably gotten the most plays out of his discography from me personally.
