Noise rock meets electronica: although Health are based in Los Angeles, they don’t sound like typical California stereotypes at all. Their style was once described as “artfully crafted noise and raw synth, haunting monotone vocals, and drum skills that are borderline insane.” There’s nothing really more to add except that they like to keep things in flux and do everything a little bit differently than other bands. For example, they became famous by playing several shows for free before they began giving regular concerts and recording their first self-titled album quasi live at their favourite venue, The Smell in L.A. The remix album “HEALTH/DISCO” followed immediately thereafter.Get Color “. It’s the first in a series of six iNterviews made possible by our generous sponsor, Jägermeister. The topics discussed here might be a few months old, but they’re still pretty fresh and interesting, or entertaining at the very least: Health’s 2008 tour with Nine Inch Nails, the importance of electronic music, L.A. sleaze rock prejudices, having Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine as the landlord of their rehearsal space, German umlauts , the band’s own very special merchandise and the other earth-shattering stuff mentioned here make it clear in any case that Health are not only seriously genre-bending musicians, but also a pretty funny band. So go ahead and worship them. And have fun watching.
P.S.: The video clip shown in this iNterview is “Die Slow” by Health.
