Today's track from the deep end is our first contemporary cut, coming from LA experimental group Health. Health's unique sound could be considered a combination of noise, punk, hardcore, metal, electronica as well as something completely unique. The use of a Zoothorn, bypassing microphones through guitar pedals and other ad lib effects contribute to their sometimes atonal sonic textures. Health has released a well -received split album with Toronto synthpunk act Crystal Castles, and they held a slot opening for Nine Inch Nails in 2008. The track consists of escalating drums and shrieking that blends in and out of the guitar effect. The vocals are near inaudible and have a distant almost bitmapped texture. The song builds to a climax mirroring the horrific take on Little Red Riding Hood portrayed in the gore filled music video (directed by Eric Warheim of Tim & Eric). Just listen to it, and it will all make sense. * Warning not for the squeamish.
