HEALTH are working with the Haxan Cloak on their new album
Bobby Kiric offers an update on album number three.
LA noise band HEALTH have been recording the follow-up to 2009’s ‘Get Color’ for the past couple of years, and following word that it might be released in 2013, there was a swift radio silence. Now, news has emerged that they’re working alongside Tri Angle producer the Haxan Cloak on their third LP.
In an interview with The Quietus, Bobby Kiric confirmed that he’d been working with a couple of artists on new albums, including HEALTH. “[They’re] massively underrated. I don’t know what people think of HEALTH but maybe they think they’re just trendy dudes just trying out noise music. I think they have the wrong kind of image for some people—it’s a clothing issue maybe. But if you see them live… they’re just a monstrously heavy and weird band and I think this new record is going to cement that for them even further.”
After working on the ‘Max Payne 3’ soundtrack, HEALTH started work on their new album. “I find that certain things might date faster, or people will move on when they’re part of a specific scene…[’Get Color’] didn’t feel like it was part of a movement - it might’ve taken longer to gestate,” Jake said to DIY about the previous album.
