HEALTH
HEALTH hail from the same LA scene that has spawned equally revered avant rockers No Age and Miko Mika, centred around the now infamous club-cum-recording studio The Smell. Sharing a lineage with the percussive impulses of Drums Not Dead-era Liars and the almost ambient freakouts of early Black Dice, HEALTH display a willingness to stretch out their sound and discover new sonic palettes rich in texture and rhythm. The remixes here play testament to this experimental tendency, serving to re-contextualise the band’s approach while bringing them to a new audience. Far from the po-faced elitism which befalls many similar acts, their self-acknowledged DISCO incarnation reveals the playful and universal appeal of the band, as at home on the dancefloor as they are atop critics’ end-of-year lists.
