Currents is the fourth full-length album by the band Eisley. It was released on May 28, 2013, on Equal Vision Records. The title-track song "Currents," is the first official single from the album, and was publicly released on April 23, 2013. On April 16, 2013, Eisley released an online stream of the song "Drink The Water," hosted by Nylon Magazine. The streaming of this song marked the first full length song to be heard from Currents.
The album charted at number 66 on the Billboard 200, making it the group's highest charting album to date.
The group began production of their fourth studio album on May 5, 2012 in their studio constructed in their hometown of Tyler, TX. The studio, built by members Weston Dupree and Garron DuPree, alongside their audio engineer Mark Schwartzkopf. The studio itself was built to be attached to the house of singer Sherri DuPree-Bemis, and Say Anything frontman Max Bemis. Upon completion of the studio in late April 2012, the group began the pre-production and tracking of the album in early May, 2012.
This album was the first of the group's albums to be entirely self-produced, recorded with virtually no outside influences. The album, though unnamed until after the recording process was completed, features a lush oceanic theme, complimented by a more layered atmospheric production.
