HEALTH are set to release a 500 piece limited white label 12“ incl. a Chris Clark and Gold Panda remix in Europe!
On September 7th 2009, HEALTH answered the call and returned with their second album GET COLOR (their first one for CITY SLANG). Recorded in an especially gnarly part of Lincoln Heights, L.A., GET COLOR is an exuberant proclamation of noise, rock and electronic splendor. The record is a celebration of sound; pretty, harsh, soft and basked in a blanket of ethereal vocals. GET COLOR is the manifesto HEALTH have been promising since their inception. HEALTH are the new frontier of noise rock. Formed in 2005, HEALTH self-recorded their debut album over the course of 9 months at Los Angeles D.I.Y. venue The Smell, birthing an urgent and extraordinary album which seethed with ghostly, epic pop and spurts of chaotic noise. The band’s shows grew wilder; kids danced & moshed; blogs freaked out; critics raved and everyone wondered how in God’s name HEALTH was going to follow it up. While the anticipation continued to build, HEALTH released a critically-acclaimed remix record HEALTH//DISCO, toured with the likes of Crystal Castles, Nine Inch Nails, and Of Montreal and played over 420 shows!
After massive feedback from the band’s blogging fans on several remixes in 2009
(accompanying their studio album GET COLOR), these two new tracks are another demonstration of their keen sense of remixes. Chris Clark appears courtesy of WARP, as their own eclectic IDM wizard, and has produced acclaimed remixes of Friendly Fires, Amon Tobin and Maximo Park. Gold Panda has been hailed as one of the best new artists of 2009 by outlets like Pitchfork and 20jazzfunkgreats… and that only with one EP and one 7″ to his name. The bizarre Clark remix with its pared-down vocal part and the trippy Gold Panda remix of Before Tigers will be bringing the unique HEALTH sound straight to dancefloors.
