Health had evaded my affections for the longest time but I was finally persuaded by the video for this song. This is so Curve it could almost be a cover of one of that bands industrial tailored shoetronic classics from the nineties. Health are a entirely newer proposition however and come from L.A., or more specifically the DIY scene that conducts its business around the Smell venue in the city. ‘Die Slow’ (from this year’s ‘Get Color’) is initially abrasive but the circular dynamics and faded vocals finally create an impressive polished stain in the fog. This is a very clever invocation of history. KD
