EARLY RISER

September 25, 2024 – Victoria, Canada – Canadian indie rock band Current Swell has released their latest single, “Early Riser,” available on all major streaming platforms. The song embodies a thoughtful reflection on perseverance, the passage of time, and the shared human experience of striving for more.

“Early Riser” paints vivid imagery of daily routines, starting with the lyrics “Break of dawn on the dotted line, every day just like the last,” portraying a cycle many can relate to - early mornings, work, and the fleeting moments of rest that follow. As the track progresses, the lyrics take a deeper dive into personal reflection, balancing the grind of everyday life with moments of joy and purpose.

At its core, “Early Riser” is an ode to the hard work and dedication of those who, despite challenges, continue to rise each morning and face the day. The chorus, “This one is for the early riser, put in the work, getting behind ya,” celebrates the resilience and spirit of those who keep going, even when the results are uncertain or fleeting.

The song also touches on the themes of friendship, loyalty, and the bonds that keep us grounded. Lines like “I love you, brother, and the hope it brings,” speak to the relationships that provide strength and motivation during life’s tougher moments. The recurring phrase “It comes and goes,” is a reminder of the ebb and flow of life—how moments of struggle, success, and everything in between are all part of a larger journey.

With Gus Van Go producing the track, “Early Riser” seamlessly combines Current Swell’s signature blend of indie rock with a mellow, introspective vibe. The instrumentation offers a soft backdrop, allowing the lyrics to take center stage, while the rhythm and melody gradually build, evoking the cyclical nature of daily life.

The release of “Early Riser” follows a series of sold-out performances and growing recognition of Current Swell as one of Canada’s most captivating indie bands. The group continues to push the boundaries of their genre, creating music that resonates on both personal and universal levels.

“Early Riser” is now streaming on all major platforms. Listen on Spotify and more.
