Wild Heart unfolds with “My Blood,” a slow, heavy tune that bears weight on listeners. Pairing nostalgic elements with guitar and drum instrumentals, Current Joys is not a mainstream artist, but has gained a substantial following from a few of its hits, which were popularized through social media. Rattigan also serves as a music video director and a member of Surf Curse, an alternative duo formed in 2013. After switching to “Current Joys” in 2015, the 28-year-old has released six different albums and a handful of singles, with his seventh album, Voyager, set to release in mid-May.
Growing up in a childhood of musical variety, Rattigan released his first album, Wild Heart, in 2013 under the moniker “TELE/VISIONS”. Nick Rattigan, better recognized under the moniker Current Joys, is a singer and songwriter of Henderson, Nevada. With Wild Heart, the debut LP of alternative artist Current Joys, the beauty and emotion of a coming-of-age film are captured perfectly in 10 short, one-of-a-kind tracks. It’s the music that truly pulls together a coming-of-age movie and makes it a gem in the film industry’s sea of unpolished stones and rough pebbles. Viewers often disregard a key element that distinguishes a sloppy Netflix original from a classic teen drama.
But it is not just the cast members, who often receive the most attention, that set these films apart. While coupling life’s unpredictable and often mundane events with bold, unique humor, the teenage protagonists of these films shine under a light of realism and relatability. When we take Stand By Me (1986), Clueless (1995), or The Breakfast Club (1985), we are looking at what many claim to be some of the greatest coming-of-age films of all time.
