The Pit

Los Angeles art rockers @healthnoise are one of the most interesting acts in the worlds of noise and industrial, with their unique blend of influences that traverse the dive bar to the dance floor. Their latest project, the two part 'DISCO4', sees the band collaborate with an impressive and extensive roster of artists from @lambofgod to @100gecs. It’s testament to their manic creativity and sly wit, but also a rebirth of sorts for an act that’s arguably unmatched in their innovation. We sat down with HEALTH member John Famiglietti to get some insight into the 'DISCO4 series', and on how HEALTH has changed the game.

DISCO4 :: PART II

TP PODCAST #106: HEALTH

This track was originally released June 3, 2016, in a collection titled "Donnie Heeler EP". This collection included the songs, "Fornication Parade", "On 7 On", "The World Is Mine", and "Pumpkinhead '96". The published lyrics on Bandcamp read:

altered reflection
left her engaged
just for the pickings
just for the wage

wrong place
wrong time
bad luck
holds my head down

mid day motel call
vein stalls surround
wanna get lost
just to be found

Donnie Heeler EP

Bad Luck Holds My Head Down

QUICK TING.

IRMA VEP – A Woman's Work is Never Done

Taken from Great Ytene's forthcoming LP 'Locus', released February 17th 2017 via Faux Discx.
PRE-ORDER: www.fauxdiscx.com/shop/great-ytene-locus
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Great Ytene are a band built upon deconstruction and reassembly. In order to create something that felt truly complete, they had to tear down everything that had come before. From their formative years as 'Colours', to their reemergence as Great Ytene (taking their name from an old term for the New Forest, which is where they all grew up), they replaced sounds, members and even their name before they felt truly comfortable in their collective skin.

So, it's quite fitting that In 2015 Great Ytene lost a full album's worth of material to a technological worm hole. It was just another clean slate. It was the best thing that could have happened. The band spent six months writing new songs, perfecting their shape, pulling them apart and piecing them back together until Locus was in exactly the right place.

Locus, Great Ytene's first full length LP since their self- titled debut (via Bella Union) in 2014, sees the band moving forward to explore darker themes. The name ‘Locus’ refers to the attempt to pin-point exact moments in time when an event took place. This idea is explored lyrically throughout the album, even as the music loops and pushes back.

If you are looking for like-minded contemporary peers then look no further than the grey and black post-punk of the likes of Disappears and Preoccupations. At times waves of noise are underpinned by tight, rigid rhythms, at others they’re allowed to spill over the edges to create disquiet landscapes.

The album was recorded and mixed in East London at Holy Mountain with producer and long-time collaborator Iggy B, mixed by MJ (Hookworms) at Suburban Home Studios in Leeds & mastered by Joe Caithness of Subsequent Mastering. It's released via Faux Discx on February 17, 2017.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Garden centre is a band formed out of necessity. The specific function of the band was to tell the story of a group of people who found themselves drawn to an abandoned plant nursery in southern England. The band hoped that their messages were transmitted efficiently, broadcast via audio in the form of their début album 'Garden Centre'.

With their task well and truly complete, the members of Garden Centre have become distracted. Some members still obsess over semi-rural boredom and exploration. Others have the audacity to write love songs. The most cretinous members opt to write about energy drinks exclusively. Their distracted and unfocused efforts come to the fore in their new album 'Monster energy'.

Garden Centre The Band features members of King of Cats, Joanna Gruesome, and Keel Her amongst other rotating visitors. 'Monster Energy' sees chief songwriter Max Levy return to the solitude of his bedroom studio, where he composed and recorded this album with only a hint of help from other members of the band.

Monster Energy is out Friday 17 March 2017 and is available to pre-order now. The band will embark on a short UK tour to coincide with the release!

Blowing Up The Workshop

89 ◆ Lucrecia Dalt

Central American born Silent Servant has performed worldwide in clubs from LA, Berlin to Osaka. A chance meeting with Karl O'Conner in 1999 would establish a friendship that would open the door to the Sandwell District label in 2006. Silent Servant's sound is a reinterpretation of early '80s post-punk electronics, paired with the deep, metallic sounds of Basic Channel and Downwards.
