Performer Notes
  • Audio Mixer: Shane Smith.
  • If their first album was an exercise in repetition and abrasiveness, HEALTH took it up a notch for their sophomore album, GET COLOR. Instead of using a computer interface to record, as they did with their predominantly digital self-titled album, the quartet produced straight onto 2" tape, in hopes of boosting the levels to the red without the interference of digital clipping. Like steroids, this technique of pushing analog to the extreme beefed up their art rock skronk to a hulking mass. As well as being larger, the aspect that separates GET COLOR from the band's debut of fractured near-instrumentals is that the tracks on board actually feel like fully realized songs, rather than sketched ideas. Things are still disjointed and hard to navigate in HEALTH's home world, but now the gnarly setting is beautified by golden androgynous harmonies that envelop everything. For many, HEALTH's noisy tendencies will be a bit much, but those who aren't afraid to dig deeper will be rewarded greatly. (Fashion-conscious L.A. scenesters have no business making music this good.)
Professional Reviews
Alternative Press (p.110) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[They allow] a very small percentage of pop mentality to sneak into their fuzzy textures. With GET COLOR, there are moments when you'll find yourself wanting to sing along..."

CMJ - "With all shards of guitar glass under a frenetic flurry of drums and distortion, HEALTH leaves most things open to interpretation."

Pitchfork (Website) - "[HEALTH] incorporate more electronic textures this time around, and songs like 'Death+' and 'Eat Flesh' find the band using intricate synth patterns as jumping-off points for brutal freakouts."
