HOW TO describe HEALTH? Rock Insider described them as playing "artfully crafted noise and raw synth, haunting monotone vocals, and drum skills that are borderline insane".
That sound may have resulted from the idiosyncratic manner of how the band learned to write songs. “We just sat in a dark room with no windows and tried to figure out how to write a song,” HEALTH’s singer/guitarist Jake Duzsik says. “Through a process of tug-of-war and cooperation, we started building these weird songs together.”
The band will bring their intense art-punk, noise rock, fusion to the Róisín Dubh on Wednesday May 29 at 11pm, for a show presented by Strange Brew and Feast.
In February the band released their fourth album, Vol 4: Slaves Of Fear, which Drowned In Sound said was "somewhere between machine gun chug riffage and the kind of concrete industrial tech-rock that you’d find soundtracking a club scene in Robocop"; The Line Of Best Fit called the album a "remarkably cathartic listen" because of its "abrasive beats and tortured, explosive synth textures"; while Brooklyn Vegan said it "delivers sticky hooks and the kinds of depressive slogans that teenagers will always relate to when they need proof that someone out there feels like them."
