Against The Current has evolved from an upstart band to an unstoppable,
hardworking trio ready to take over the world with their debut album of
intelligent pop songs. The band, formed by Chrissy Costanza, Dan Gow and Will
Ferri in 2011 in Poughkeepsie, NY, unveiled their first song, “Thinking,” in
mid-2012 and self-released two Eps in the years that followed. Their most
recent, Gravity, sent the band on a
world tour, playing venues across the U.S., Europe and Asia and selling out
shows everywhere from Tokyo to Amsterdam to Paris. Now, as they prepare
to release their debut album, Against The Current finds themselves a more
practiced and thoughtful band.
The trio headed to Los Angeles in May of 2015, armed with a
few ideas but no real preconceived notion of what their album should sound
like. The musicians spent most of the summer in the studio with Tommy English,
the producer who had also worked on Gravity.
The band didn’t really even consider any other producers because they knew they
wanted to be back in the studio with Tommy, who has helped Against The Current
explore new ways of expressing their sound. In the end, the experimentation and
exploration paid off creatively.
“None of us knew what the record would become,” Will says. “To
me that was the most exciting aspect of the whole process. We didn’t set any
boundaries for ourselves. We just went in with one common goal: make an
incredible first record. We knew we wanted
to approach things with a classic but modern feel. We were also lucky enough to
work out of an amazing studio filled with dozens of vintage synthesizers and
you can hear a lot of ‘80s analog synths on the record. That really opened up a
whole new world of sound for us.” Dan adds, “It was really interesting to
watch everything come together in such an organic way as our writing style
developed.”
Lyrically, Chrissy took inspiration from other
music and books she was reading, and drew a lot from her own experiences.
Because the musicians are so close in age to their fans, they wanted to ensure
that their songs expressed something relatable, whether it’s the feeling of
anxiety in “Demons” or the feel-good hometown reunion of “One More Weekend.”
All of the album’s emotion, good and bad, is meant to leave the listener
feeling connected in some way. “To me, the songs say ‘We’re going
through this too but we’re going to get through it together,’” Chrissy says.
“Our sad songs are not just sad. They give you resolution and let you feel
lighter when you hear it.”
The album as a whole encompasses a range of feelings and
experiences, as well as stylistic tones. “Young & Relentless” is buoyant
and propulsive, a bounding pop rock track with an immediate chorus, while
anthemic pop number “Forget Me Now” is what Will calls “a look into the past, present
and future of our lives.” “When writing it we reminisced about our high
school experiences and imagined what it may be like going to our high school
reunions and pointing a finger at everyone who tried to bring us down,” he
adds. “It has a great pop simplicity and feel-good energy. It just feels like
the start of a story.” The band reveals their softer side on “In Our Bones,” an
acoustic charmer with an immediate chorus that aptly showcases Chrissy’s voice.
The levity and cathartic release imbued in the album is also present in Against
The Current’s live show, which amps up that feeling of being relatable.
“As with the new album we want our live show to be an
experience,” Chrissy says. “We want the crowd to take this journey with us
through each song and be fully immersed in it. Ultimately we want the fans to
leave feeling better and lighter. We want the happy songs to resonate with
people and we want the heavier songs to give them a sense of release, like it’s
okay to feel like this and it’s not the end of the world. We want them to have
the best possible experience.” Dan adds, “When we’re on stage the most
important thing is for the fans to connect to the music and to us.”
Against The Current’s connection to their fans is as
essential to their success as the music itself. In the past few years, the band
has built an immense following on social media and aim to bond as personally as
possible with everyone. The band currently boasts over 1.3 million YouTube
subscribers and 137 million channel views, while Chrissy has over 1.3 million
Facebook likes, 832,000 Instagram followers and 411,000 Twitter followers.
“If we can get the audience
as immersed in what we are doing as we are then I think we have something
really special,” Will says. “With this record we hope to create a new world for
our listeners and we hope we can capture that same effect live. Our goal has
always been to just keep outdoing ourselves and hopefully get as many people as
possible to come along for the ride.”
