Recorded at Boiler Room Studios in Toronto, 10 Feet Tall sees the band stretching creatively while doubling down on their folk-rock foundations. The title track and “High As a Kite” radiate with carefree joy, while others lean into introspective storytelling and lush textures.

The EP’s focus track, “I Got Mine,” finds Current Swell in classic form, blending nostalgic warmth with rootsy instrumentation and infectious melodies. Mid-tempo and anthemic, the song taps into the same folk-rock magic that made fan favourites like “I Want a Bird” into setlist staples.

Recorded at Boiler Room Studios with acclaimed producer Gus van Go (The Beaches, Arkells, Metric), the track channels nostalgia and empowerment, reflecting on the fleeting but unforgettable highs of living fully in the moment. From its infectious melodies to its feel-good lyrics, “10 Feet Tall” radiates the joy of perspective, growth, and those moments in life that make you feel unstoppable.

Gus van Go is a wizard. We loved working with him. He used a lot of the demo tracks, knowing we’d captured something special. He knew exactly where to expand, add a stomp, a clap, or a shaker. – frontman Scott Stanton
