HEALTH is one of those bands that has been around for some time and never clicked for me. Until now. This is also one of those records, I’m sure, that all of their older fans will condemn because people like me can finally connect with it. It’s loud, dense, and chaotic but still sweet. The angelic vocals over the gritty chopped synth and pounding cacophony of drums allows for the perfect contrast in each song. I can get down with what they’re doing here. I recommend this record for those of you who have dipped your toes into the, “they-can’t-be-serious” waters that is noise music and turned back, confused and embarrassed. This puddle, this time, is warm. Try again.

Plus, they’re doing this awesome contest alongside the release of Get Color involving wacky prizes and golden tickets. Yes’m, YOU could be the proud winner of a copy of the new record signed with the band members blood, or if you’re really lucky, you might get a lock of their hair sent in the mail. Read more here
