On September 7th 2009, HEALTH answer the call and return 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!
In April, HEALTH emerged with their first new single since 2007: "DIE SLOW" received
immediate accolades from Pitchfork & NME, with the effects rippling across their DIE SLOW
THROUGH EUROPE tour, resulting in a near-riot in Eastern Europe. The song's infectious
fusion of noise and dance was the most fully-formed and undeniably rad piece of music from
HEALTH yet. And it only served to rile up their fans more. The new full-length was
desperately needed.
NOW is that time. GET COLOR is the record.
