"When it came to live performance, Depth & Current?s show augmented the intensity of the music with an equally intense visual experience. The band?s low tech (but still effective) light and fog show was always part of the mix up until the time that hundreds of feet of extension cords were littering the stage, creating a liability for venues and their sensitive breaker boxes".
"Enter the fifth and final member of Depth & Current, Joey Powell, who now runs the more streamlined, but still pretty low tech (but still effective), LED based system for the band. Powell is even able to control lights while contributing synth parts! Recently Depth & Current opened a sold-out Ariel Pink?s Haunted Graffiti show. Wayne Coyne of The Flaming Lips was there and later posted on Twitter about Depth & Current. Maybe he still heard a little bit of the psychedelic pop band coming through? Depth & Current?s new seven-inch Don?t Go Away / Calm To The Sea is released this week on band member Chris Harris?s Nice People label".Dreamscaping Shoegaze, perfect New Wave rebellion. Depth And Current manage to produce a unique sound while continuing to pay non-commercial homage to their own individual influences. There`s certainly no doubt these guys are very good at what they do - The performance is an important cameo, an underestimated tool for open minded comparisons. Impressively layered and style resistant, Depth And Current really are quite serious with their intentions.
