See the photo above. HEALTH don’t need to “get color.” But both the title of the LA electro-noise cabal’s forthcoming full-length, and the decision to enlist Tobacco for remix work intimate that they want their shine blinding. Yet the frontman of Black Moth Super Rainbow never bleaches eyes, instead he angles towards chromatic distortion. Other than Joker and Caribou, no one’s got the striking synesthesia of Tom Fec, who slathers the grisaille tones of HEALTH’s original with an ice cream paint job that could make Dorrough salivate.
Ignore the bad beards, asymmetric hair-cuts, and the anvil irony of a man named Tobacco remixing a band named HEALTH. “Die Slow” is liver than a Super Bowl kickoff–ideal for watching Saved by the Bell on your dashboard.
