Currents is the project of Brian Lettieri, a guitarist and producer who emerged from the indie rock scene with a distinctly introspective approach. His music trades in atmospheric guitars, restrained vocals, and production that feels deliberately lo-fi without being sloppy. The project gained traction among indie listeners for its ability to sound both nostalgic and contemporary, pulling from post-punk and alternative rock lineages while maintaining something that feels genuinely his own. Tracks like 'Let It Go' showcase his knack for building tension through repetition and texture rather than bombast. 'Alone Together' became something of a focal point, demonstrating his gift for melancholic hooks that stick without feeling saccharine. What separates Currents from the pack of bedroom producers is an apparent restraint—he doesn't overcomplicate things, and there's a confidence in letting space breathe. The project has developed a dedicated following among people who actually know their guitar pedals and appreciate when someone uses delay the way it's meant to sound.

Currents shows are quiet, attentive affairs. Lettieri commands the room through restraint—there's no grandstanding. Crowds lean in rather than jump around. The guitar work is precise enough that people genuinely listen. There's something hypnotic about watching him build these things in real time.

Known for Let It Go, Alone Together, The Way It Was, Bloodhail, Overland

Currents played The Eastern in Atlanta on August 1, 2025, with a 9-song set that was tight and unrelenting. Living in Tragedy opened, and Remember Me followed before The Death We Seek added the heaviest moment of the night. Kill the Ache and Better Days represented the more melodic side, while So Alone and Unfamiliar closed things out. Monsters and It Only Gets Darker held the middle section together. Nine songs, no padding, every one of them hitting.

Atlanta's underground music scene has always had room for the strange and textured. Between the legacy of psych acts and the city's current wave of indie and experimental artists, there's an audience here that gets subtle production and atmospheric depth. Currents fit naturally into a scene that values both introspection and sonic detail.

Stay in Buckhead or Virginia Highland for the neighborhood feel — tree-lined streets, good restaurants, walkable enough to actually enjoy yourself. For dinner, Sotto Sotto does excellent Italian in a no-fuss basement setting, or Rathbun's for steak if you want something more formal. Spend an afternoon at the High Museum of Art, then grab drinks at The Eagle, which has the kind of dark-wood-and-whiskey vibe that actually works. Catch a Braves game at Truist Park if timing lines up. The food scene here is legitimately good without being try-hard about it.
