DOWNLOAD: HEALTH - Die Slow (Tobacco Remix)
HEALTH’s “Die Slow” really flaunted the band’s trademark haunted melodies over spine-breaking beats*, so we’re rather impressed with Tobacco’s transmogrifying remix in which slapping on a gritty ‘90s era balm and turning down the screws resulted in this slowish, hip-banging anthem. Ever dance underwater? Try it below. The oft-lauded Crystal...
SXSW DOWNLOAD: HEALTH - In Heat (Javelin Remix)
Javelin kind of pulled the short stick on this one, saddled with the unenviable task of revamping "In Heat," Get Color’s bruising, grating, noisebomb of an opener. Dudes take the difficult source material in stride though, finding a sweet spot somewhere between old school b-boy fodder and squishy nu-funk synth twinkling. HEALTH are sitting out the Austin melee this year...
HEALTH - Before Tigers (CFCF Rmx)
  HEALTH are a Monday morning blues band who sound like they were there on the first ever Monday morning and have been suffering Monday mornings once a week since. Whenever Jake Duzsik opens his mouth nothing seems to come out but a heart-bursting emptiness - so with this sultry remix the laudable CFCF carefully scrapes the singer off the floor and wraps him in warming blankets of steel drum...
Child Bite: new single & album
Feast On My Wounded Body Michigan has a proud punk history and throughout the last decade Child Bite has been keeping that odyssey alive. The state is famous for it’s shabby, rebellious past, birthing the MC5, The Stooges, Alice Cooper and The White Stripes. Child Bite is as equally progressive and original, sticking a more recent ‘fuck you’ finger in the face of Detroit’...
HEALTH interview
Accessible:Noise When HEALTH released their debut album in 2007 it had a polarising effect on the most eclectic areas of the world’s music community. The little known band from Los Angeles quickly became recognised as a band pushing the boundaries, twisting and combining unconventional noise rock elements and making music that was so unique that it seemed almost incomprehensible....

HEALTH - DISCO2
I’ve never been fond of remix albums. Infact, that’s probably putting it a tad lightly. I positively loathe them. The blame surely has to lie mostly at the feet of the 90s, where any track that had a synthetic drumbeat slapped over it with a higher tempo was considered ‘remix’ worthy. Two years on from the release of HEALTH//DISCO, the noise-kings have followed suit...
SXSW DIARY PART THREE
Venue: Austin, Texas Teaser: In part three of his SXSW diary, John becomes increasingly desperate to find some ‘tunes of the day’, despite encounters with The Ting Tings, Bitshifter, and Lightspeed Champion! Will he escape the Texas heat unscathed? Read on to find out… Pull quote 2: Bitshifter is a man who makes awesome hard dance music using a modified...
Health - Get Color
It’s here. We’re one of the first to get a hold of a copy of Health’s eagerly anticipated second ‘proper’ album (forgetting the remix LP for now) – in all of its glory. The limited-to-500-copies clear vinyl that I hold in my hand is so early infact, that the download link provided doesn’t even work yet. A quick Google will find scores of people...
