Don't commit to a genre. Stay on the outskirts of any movement or scene. Create a confusing, almost cryptic timeline of releases. Welcome to HEALTH's 'how to stay relevant 101.' Not only are they more relevant than ever, but the LA noise-rock trio are about to release their most exhilarating record yet, over 15 years into their career.
"I don't think any of us anticipated that we'd still be doing this," says guitarist and vocalist Jake Duzsik. "A lot of bands from our era and our scene are gone - not that that's a negative thing - just oftentimes music is a youthful artistic expression that connects to a zeitgeist. Things are so cyclical that you can have an ascendent moment of being a buzz band, then there'll be a changing of the guards, and certain things pass out of fashion."
When HEALTH first burst onto the LA DIY scene in a cacophony of glitchy electronics and pummelling, mind-melting drum beats, the cynics amongst us can be forgiven for thinking they were a flash in the pan. There were hints of buzz band moments: the Crystal Castles 'Crimewave' remix, for instance, or the self-titled debut recorded in iconic LA venue The Smell, but HEALTH have stood the test of time.
