HEALTH are a noise rock quartet from Los Angeles who gained much exposure after touring and releasing two alarmingly popular split singles with Crystal Castles. Their self-titled debut was released at the end of last year (late to the party!) via Lovepump United. The album, recorded at the bands favourite setting, downtown LA avant-garde club The Smell, home to the likes of No Age and Mika Miko, is a breathless mix of the tribal thumps, ostentatious pounds and synth squirts. The bands unusual sound can be partially accredited to the use of Zoothorn, which is a permutation of a microphone and guitar pedal and an occasional unsymetrical atonal sound. Definitely for fans of Liars, Boredoms or Black Dice.
HEALTH will be playing a one-off London date at Cafe Luminaire on May 1st alongside Skeletons & The King's of all Cities and Pre. Tickets are £6. For more tour information, click here.
