Pitchfork

Straight teeth, clear eyes, "Perfect Skin": they're all indicative of good health. And we can think of no one quite as full of vim and vigor as HEALTH themselves, the loud ones from Los Angeles.

The folks at Suicide Squeeze must be HEALTH nuts too, as they'll inaugurate their 2008 7" series with HEALTH's "Perfect Skin", a tune carved into solid blue vinyl and limited edition to 2,000 copies. The track, from the band's self-titled LP of last year, will be backed with a remix of the song by Curses!. Look for it February 19 in stores, or score a copy right now via the Suicide Squeeze website.

Cold and flu season though it may be, HEALTH are out on the road at the moment, with their long run with Crystal Castles looming.
