Video: HEALTH - "DIE SLOW"

photos by Rachel Carr After ten years collecting sweat, The Smell 's fundraiser for an A/C unit, last Wednesday night (11/11), brought out excited supporters, but also protestors who enjoy asphyxiating. Neither party could resist Health , Abe Vigoda , Man's Assassination, Man , and Tearist on one Smelly lineup. The venue traps B.O. night after night, spiritually nourishing reckless bands and raucous audiences. "In the middle of summer when the place is [...]

Tonight's show at The Lounge on Elm Street (which now has its liquor license back, by the way) has the potential to be among the best of the year--or so Daniel Rodrigue said in this week's paper ...

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

[Happy 09-09-09. It's International Beatles Day, as well as the Eurhythmic Dave Stewart's birthday. Somewhere in there should be a big celebration ....] It's a huge week for L.A. electro-noise quartet HEALTH , who released their new album "Get Color" (Lovepump United) and played opening slots on the Nine Inch Nails farewell tour. Tonight the foursome kicks off a big tour by headlining the Troubadour, with synth guru/performance artist Pictureplane opening. ... Also: Natalie Cole's rescheduled date at the Hollywood Bowl; the Black and White Years and Evan Voytas [...]

I saw HEALTH a couple of years ago in a 100-capacity art space, and the L.A. four-piece proceeded to scare the shit out of everyone in attendance... in a good way... I also firmly believe their unhinged performance inspired several people in attendance to start a band. HEALTH's new record Get Color is out today, and the band will perform as part of the Time-Based Art Festival on Friday, Sept. 11th with Pictureplane. I will say this-their new self-directed video for "Die Slow" gives a legitimate reason to be creeped out... [...]

There's moments in Health's "Die Slow" video that recalls La Tomatina , Spain's annual excuse to hurl tomatoes at strangers like they owe you money. Except in Health's version pulpy produce is replaced with bodily fluids and everyone has an orgy beforehand. Can't remember reading that in Lonely Planet. Quite fittingly, considering Health's penchant for abrasive drone, the LA noise-merchants gather some attractive lady friends in a seething moshpit orgy (or is that orgy moshpit?) that increases in menace and blood loss as the clip progresses. Of course the scenario can only end it [...]

The video for "Die Slow", HEALTH's first track from their new record Get Color, is exactly how a group of gentleman callers would presumably call "perfection": writhing all female bodies, picture in picture psychedelia, writhing dance choreography and visually titillating...
