HEALTH are looking to maintain their prolific streak, having been whipping up a batch of new material outside of their various live commitments this year. The group are hopeful that some of that new music may even make its way out into the world before the year’s end. Speaking recently with Rolling Stone Australia, bassist, etc. John Famiglietti commented of their plans:
“We’re hoping to have a momentous run this year and next. We’ve got tons of new shows and our material now is a direct response to the shows we’ve played. Bigger festivals and bigger shows, so we’re writing material for these types of events…”
Vocalist Jake Duzsik added:
“We’ve been trying not to fall into the common formula of falling out of a routine when we’re off cycle. I think it can be pretty negative, creatively. Routine, whether or not it’s exercising, or eating well… the moment you fall out of that, it gets harder to get back into it. It’s partly why we did collaborative records during the pandemic and then we did an additional [project] to then waterfall into a new record.”
“We were just in the studio considering all of this, we’d been touring most of last year… to be in the studio so soon after, I think it is sooner than most bands would do. I understand the impetus to stop once you’re off the road; touring is exhausting and so when you get home, you want to decompress and live your life. But we are trying to consistently be in a creative mindset.
It’s extremely helpful because we toured so much last year, to see the songs the crowd reacts to and they have a reciprocal relationship with… it’s a communication of energy that we would want to revisit.”
