Good Health Good Wealth are bringing their rousing energy and gritty storytelling to our lives with their latest single, 'I Can't Tell Ya'. This newest track is "the most indie" the duo has taken a song, and it's a brilliant turn to take. Whilst retaining their signature lyricism, which navigates the highs and lows of modern life, Good Health Good Wealth have developed their soundscape to double down on the explosivity which got us all hooked. Part of the allure of the London-based band is how willing they are to level with their audience, choosing to paint life as it is rather than hide behind a facade. This quality is retained once again, as amongst the thumping drums and sparkly guitar track is a darker, intimate self-reflection in asking, "Do you really think I worked it out myself?".
Good Health Good Wealth's sound uniquely reflects the upbringing of its members, blending the East London twang of Bruce Breakey's vocals with the myriad of musical icons who have inspired Lithuanian guitarist Simon Kuzmickas. The resulting recipe blends old-school house, rhythms borrowed from ska and a heavy punch of The Streets to create an infectious and refreshing vibe. 'I Can't Tell Ya' is the fourth single from their upcoming album 'The Disco Never Ends', which is shaping up to be an instant classic that will get you moving. Ending with a string arrangement akin to those on Mac Miller's 'The Divine Feminine' - if this track is anything to go by, then their second album will be packed full of the musicality which leaves Good Health Good Wealth in a genre of their own.
Good Health Good Wealth have been described as a band on the ascendancy - but these boys are arguably already up there with the very best. Fresh off the back of a summer which saw them turn stages into the heart of the party at festivals across Europe, the duo now turns their attention to a headline tour of their own. Their combination of spacey electric dance with rock-inspired riffs has rightfully earned these lads a cult following with the success of tracks including 'Full Circle' and 'Who What Where Why'. The unrelenting energy which bursts out of these tracks isn't a one-off - as this energy is propelling Good Health Good Wealth to new heights.
