Current

Together with coproducer JT Daley, former Chasing Furies singer Sarah MacIntosh explores adventuresome sonic terrain with overtones of indie folk and theater music, often bringing to mind the likes of Kate Bush and Florence + The Machine. Spacy electronic grooves, billowing synthesizers, and intriguing background vocals infuse “Calling, Calling,” “Take It All," and the title tune with an otherworldly glow as they bring out the yearning in MacIntosh’s enraptured vocals. Current is striking in its ability to convey extremes of spiritual experience. The shimmering pulsations of “We Should Run” capture the anticipation of Christ’s return, while “The Damaged” slides into harsh, dark tones as it grapples with suffering. MacIntosh blends diary-like language with a feel for scriptural cadences in her lyrics, with “Galaxy Former” achieving a particularly hymnlike grace. Whether the setting is effervescent pop (“You’re Coming”) or stately balladry (“Hope”), the music here never loses its God-centered focus.
