HEALTH

HEALTH`s brutal diversity is at the forefront of LA`s burgeoning experimental scene. Their self titled debut finally saw the light of day early last year via Lovepump United having already received accolades by Pitchfork and Drowned in Sound where the album was voted in the top ten albums of last year.

Having been together for six months before playing live, and eight months before releasing anything, Healths notoriety centred around LA`s The Smell venue where more often than not they played free all ages shows to those eager to lose themselves in the bands volatile experimental noise.

HEALTH have also had a hand in 8 bit glitch duo Crystal Castles` recent success. In addition to a Crystal Castles/HEALTH split 7", HEALTH remixed Crystal Castle`s Crimewave which featured on the UK release of the single. Relentless touring with Crystal Castles, Dan Deacon, and White Williams has cemeneted their status as one of the most exciting and energetic bands around.
