Eddy Currents is a singer-songwriter usually described as having a sound someplace in between Gordon Lightfoot and Eddie Vedder. With a number of releases below his belt, he’s presently gearing up for his subsequent album ‘Electrical Minds’ and reserving a number of dwell slots within the diary.

‘Some Wet Day’ is a wistful, mid-tempo rock monitor with loads of imagery and basic influences.

It tells the story of affection on the rocks, when ‘stress within the room expands like a balloon’, and hints that the titular ‘wet day’ is the day when it lastly ends. There’s some attractive lyric work right here, with strains like ‘Tv on low, you couldn’t hear what they have been saying, possibly they have been praying’, and a sort of bittersweet reduction within the classic-sounding refrain singing, ‘At the least I’m not afraid that your love for him by no means went away’. Currents’ gravelly vocals recall to mind 80s energy rock and complement the climbing melodies. 

The monitor centres round twanging piano strains, chugging guitars, regular drum beats and tight harmonies. It goes down simple, with a guitar solo outro for good measure, and reveals a transparent affect of the likes of Bruce Springsteen. It’s a stable monitor and a terrific selection for any basic folk-rock followers searching for one thing else so as to add to the playlists.
