Interview with John Famiglietti of HEALTH

moodgusic interviewed bassit John Famiglietti of HEALTH.

This interview took place on 07/10/10.

moodgusic: How was the show for you tonight?

JF: Pretty awesome. First time playing in Moscow. Kids were
stoked. Pretty great time all around.

moodgusic: Your 2010 release HEALTH::DISCO2 is your second remix record, will the
pattern of studio/remix studio/remix that's emerging be one that
continues for your future releases?

JF: Sure. Well as long as its good. Don't wanna put out anything
shitty, but yeah we'd like to keep it going.

moodgusic: You recorded the first record at The Smell (which was notoriously

difficult for you) and then the second in a studio. How much of a
difference was the process?

JF: Pretty different, however the "studio" we recorded GET COLOR at
was pretty janky and not as much of a step above as we would have
liked. After doing USA BOYS in a real studio, were really looking
forward to doing a new album with that level of production.

moodgusic: The impression I get from GET COLOR is that it was a more cohesive and
melodic album than your self titled debut, GET COLOR definetly strayed
more towards an electronic style, most notably in the closer 'In
Violet'. Was that the blueprint you had before going into the studio:
to take it more in that direction?

JF: Melodic yes, cohesive...perhaps. Yes there was an effort to
make the music more melodic and a little more repetitious. We would
like our music to do what it does without translation or direction.
Still working towards that.

moodgusic: Do you think you'll delve into another style with the next album but
revolve it around the core noise sound?

JF: Yes, and then some.

moodgusic: If there would be anyone right now in music that you all would like to
work with, who would that be?

JF: We had a pretty good pedigree on USA BOYS. Would'nt mind doing
that again.

moodgusic: It's coming up to the end of the year, for each of you, what has been
the record you've been listening to the most this year?

JF: White Ring EP, Gold Panda - Lucky Shiner, Captain Ahab - The End
Of Irony, Crystal Castles II
