HEALTH
PERTURBATOR
ELECTRIC BRIXTON, LONDON
Synthwave’s dark avenger keeps the party spirit going
Tonight, Matthew, Perturbator are going to be agents of the apocalypse
Health wondered where the disco ball had gone

JUDGING BY THE queue at the merch stand, there are at least as many people here to see LA’s HEALTH as the headliners. Kudos to France’s Perturbator for giving their support to a full production on these shows, as Health’s lightshow is dazzling. Bathed in a cool, electric blue glow, the trio emerge with the songs to back it up. Theirs is a constantly swirling amalgam of industrial, metal and shoegaze that turns Electric Brixton into a scene reminiscent of that nightclub from the beginning of Blade. Thankfully without blood dripping down the walls.
