On September 7th, Health answers the call & will return with their 2nd album Get Color.

Recorded in an especially gnarly part of Lincoln Heights, LA, Get Color is an exuberant proclamation of noise, rock & electronic splendour. The record is a celebration of sound; pretty, harsh, soft & 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 & 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 & 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, & Of Montreal & 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 & dance was the most fully-formed & undeniably rad piece of music from Health yet. And it only served to rally up their fans more.
