After being stuck in video game land via Max Payne, HEALTH are back in the real world. Welcome back, HEALTH! They dropped a new album, Death Magic, earlier this month, and now, to prove that wasn’t simply a transmission sent from the digital world, they’ve booked a North American tour for November. Before November comes, the group will make appearances at Basilica Soundscape and Pitchfork Fest Paris, providing further assurance that they are of our own flesh-and-blood world.
But what makes HEALTH tick? That’s what I wanna know! Or, really, what makes a HEALTH song tick? Well, the answer is now readily available, as long as you are specifically interested in what makes the song “Stonefist” work. HEALTH were recently on the podcast Song Exploder, in which host Hrishikesh Hirway invites musicians to explain their songs piece-by-piece. Listen below and discover what makes “Stonefist” so hard and, uh, fist-like.
