Thanks to their soundtrack work on 2012 shooter Max Payne 3, the electro-punk band essentially lost a sizable chunk of their artistic prime; six long years after their last record, Get Color, the Los Angeles quartet is finally ready to release its follow-up.
Quote:
That open-mindedness continues on the new album—their most melodic and lyrically legible to date—which finds the band meshing with a number of studio masterminds including nightmarish sub bass architect the Haxan Cloak, Mars Volta engineer Lars Stalfors, and longtime Kanye West engineer Andrew Dawson. And if you triangulate those coordinates—experimental electronic, pop-prog, and hip-hop—that’s more or less where HEALTH end up with the new record. (There are times where it doesn’t not sound a little like Linkin Park.)
I hope Alice Glass is on it.
