BAEBLE CONCERTS: HEALTH at Music Hall of Williamsburg

When most bands look to their instruments, they do so with certain sonic expectations. "This is a guitar, you strum chords in a highly organized way, and suddenly a song is born". They are the absolute masters of their craft, skillfully guiding their instruments to the places they need to go. HEALTH - LA's current kings of noise – on the other hand, seem the type of combustible crew more prone to letting their instruments guide them wherever they decide. Sure, the band can fine tune the tone and timbre, but in the end, they are slave to the glorious noise they've built their steady reputation on. - david pitz
