NEW HEALTH Rating Darker, Heavier

NEW HEALTH Rating Darker, heavier and dirtier - Before the release of VOL. 4:: SLAVES OF FEAR, Jake Duzsik told us about the many phases of his experimental group Noise Rock - and the only aesthetic that connects them.

Each of HEALTH's four albums looks like something you accidentally discovered on the Internet every instant between The Net's fear of cyber-terrorism in 1995 and the blistering corruption of the Blade Runner universe in 2049. Your own mathematical beginnings in 2007 for your current record on visible pop and vocal structures, they still sound like a real conversation between Hans Zimmer and Silversun Pickup on the Prurient set. To complete the puzzle, the live performances of HEALTH are almost completely devoid of pleasure on stage. Only three energetic silhouettes test the quality of our earplugs.

"We were lucky enough to be able to get out of a very fertile noise scene in Downtown / Eastside, Los Angeles," said trio singer Jake Duzsik, who did not look like a secret and foggy appearance on the phone. the location of the group recently - where else? Hollywood Forever Cemetery. This is the kind of person who easily uses words you only met in writing when he created a series of events that led to the next VOL album. 4:: SLAVES OF FEAR, which can only come from an open-minded DIY scene. "There are many outlines of style, but it's a very open environment, you do not have to integrate like the other bands that play the same show, so we just experimented to find our own identity ".

Among the "other groups" mentioned by Duzsik there are No Age, Abe Vigoda and Mika Miko - three very different people who took punk, which in the same period of time impregnated the old fort of Los Angeles DIY The Campbell finally as HEALTH , , "Although there are more 'punk' bands, noise is an important part of the scene," Duzsik assured me, making it hard to feel uncomfortable in such a chaotic moment in the music in Los Angeles. Although it's hard to imagine, Los Angeles is not the center of musicians who want to form an independent circle about ten years ago and open bands are left to bands like HEALTH. Make a name for themselves around the coastal storehouse. "We've got some sort of entry into the van, this group could become a way of life, the intimidating thing is to make sure you live well and offer something worthwhile or new."

Unlike its counterparts, HEALTH has a unique aesthetic associated with the fact that the witch's house is fleeting (catch the name of her latest album, again called "VOL 4: THE SLAVES OF FEAR")? who immediately encouraged her to become famous and create places for Nine Inch Nails and Interpol. For HEALTH, receiving their audience is much less important than the fact that they have to be "very crazy" in front of such a large audience throughout the United States and Europe (Duzsik recalls that a fan of NIN has brought the audience back "Bird Through All Subjects." While the group allows some moments of calm to truly get an idea of ​​the crowd's overall reaction.) Perhaps this approach has led them to their present status as an underground icon, their organic growth throughout their lives Development has sacrificed a small sacrifice to become a stage of pop music.

Duzsik - with former band members John Famiglietti on bass and BJ Miller on drums - has evolved to become her natural role as a lead band and she ended up as a video game guitarist and TV late in the night. night. Although their aesthetic remains consistent, SLAVE is far from tribal drums and starts with HEALTH guitars. "We always want to make changes to each record, like a sequence," he said, describing his group's latest collection of songs as "darker, heavier, dirtier." "For example:" Ok, you like this one. It will be different, but you will like it too. If all goes well. "I thought it was something we did very well, it's not that we have a big fan base, but we can continue."

Surprisingly, the only group that can say the same thing for over 10 years is No Age. Over the last ten years, she has cleaned up her noisy garage stones to meet her growing interest in sound design. Last year, Snare Like a Haircut seemed to be a distant continuation of Noun's breakthrough in 2008, with the greatest attention to ambient noise, which laid the foundation for the national skate-punk anthem. Similarly, HEALTH's relationship with producer Lars Stalfors at DEATH MAGIC 2015 after a painstaking six-year absence for the relatively painless admission procedure of SLAVES. "At Stalfors, it's only a matter of time," says Duzsik.

"We do not feel compelled to look like other bands playing the same show, we experiment until we find our identity."

"We are always trying to make significant changes in sound and style between shots, without losing the sense of aesthetics," he repeated, drawing attention to the changes made between the two plans produced by Stalfors. The first single "STRANGE DAYS (1999)" and "FEAR SERVICE" support Duzsik's statement "darker, heavier, dirtier", although there is no superlative, the inspired pitfalls "NC-17 "and" RAT WARS "from Alberta can place under HEALTH discography (with a witch house as a point of reference, the pace seems to correspond to both points).

Despite the impressive SLAV OF OF FEAR, recent attacks have been the biggest turnaround that has led to recordings. All had guests from other NO-LIFE manufacturers, the Youth Code, and the Disruptor - not to mention "MASS GRAVE". Collaboration with Corin Roddick of Purity Ring and development of the singer Soccer Mommy. "I think the songs sound different for each band," says Duzsik humbly. "It's a very good welcome because you're always working in the direction of health." In fact, it is, of course, a deep and perfect aesthetic of the group. who dominate each artist and allow them to do something surprising, captivating and definitely HEALTH.
