Ever want to crawl up in a song and reside inside it, tumbling in an angry cyclone of your own sweat, piss, and vomit to create a new kind of amniotic fluid that comforts and caresses and protects from the harm caused by everything outside it?
That’s our headspace as we rage along to “Runaway High,” the calm frenzy of a debut single from Worcester sleazecore collective Gut Health, the type of band you need when you’re fairly sure you don’t need a band. The mental mosh joyride of a tune spilled out this past Monday (November 13), and it was mixed by Jon Markson (Drug Church, Soul Blind, DRAIN, KOYO, etc) with drums executed by David Haik (Pianos Become The Teeth, United Nations).
We didn’t even bother asking Gut Health — which features members of Herra Terra, Ian Sweet, Gloss Goddess, Orange Island, usLights, Not Bad Not Well and probably every other band spam calling you from a 508 area code — about the track, because we were too busy living wet and wild back in the womb.
Take note, they play The Silhouette in Allston on Monday (November 20).
