HEALTH - Die Slow

HEALTH, like their Caps-Lock screamed name, stand out amongst both guitar and synth bands. Maybe it’s their ability to make convincingly futuristic music, even if it is pretty dystopian; Die Slow opens with what sounds like someone vomiting into a Talkbox, before being scribbled over by scraped guitar harmonics. Jacob Duzsik’s vocals are drowned in reverb, rendering lyrics incomprehensible, and forcing the listener to mumble their own interpretation of the mighty chorus hook. If you ever wondered what the inside of a Matrix-style, post-apocalyptic, robot nightclub would sound like, now you know.
