HEALTH’s “Die Slow” really flaunted the band’s trademark haunted melodies over spine-breaking beats*, so we’re rather impressed with Tobacco’s transmogrifying remix in which slapping on a gritty ‘90s era balm and turning down the screws resulted in this slowish, hip-banging anthem. Ever dance underwater? Try it below. The oft-lauded Crystal Castles collaborators are dropping their next, DISCO2, on June 22 through Lovepump United.
Michigan has a proud punk history and throughout the last decade Child Bite has been keeping that odyssey alive. The state is famous for it’s shabby, rebellious past, birthing the MC5, The Stooges, Alice Cooper and The White Stripes. Child Bite is as equally progressive and original, sticking a more recent ‘fuck you’ finger in the face of Detroit’s industrial elite, where closures and lookouts continue to put pressure on the states blue-collar economy. It’s a city that inspires punk rock and Child Bite confronts the issues and proudly wear the tag of one of the hardest working punk bands in America.
Javelin kind of pulled the short stick on this one, saddled with the unenviable task of revamping "In Heat," Get Color’s bruising, grating, noisebomb of an opener. Dudes take the difficult source material in stride though, finding a sweet spot somewhere between old school b-boy fodder and squishy nu-funk synth twinkling.
When HEALTH released their debut album in 2007 it had a polarising effect on the most eclectic areas of the world’s music community. The little known band from Los Angeles quickly became recognised as a band pushing the boundaries, twisting and combining unconventional noise rock elements and making music that was so unique that it seemed almost incomprehensible.
