about
Gut Health are pleased to share new single 'The Recipe', the first material from the band since their acclaimed debut EP ‘Electric Party Chrome Girl’ (Marthouse Records, 2022).
‘The Recipe’ showcases a step forward for Gut Health, evolving and refining the dance-punk sound cultivated with their debut single ’Inner Norm’ late last year, expanding on the band’s unique blend of arresting melodies, driving pulsation and kinetic noise.
Exploring themes found numerous times in her lyrics, lead singer Athina Uh oh deep dives into the many masks we wear as multifaceted humans, where the real and performative self often intertwines.
In ‘The Recipe’, Athina Uh oh shifts her attention towards the high femmes; drag queens, artists, sex workers, and all the others who throw sparkles as a way to freely express themselves and/or make a living. Whether they are playing dress up or not, Gut Health celebrates the communities these femmes have created to support and champion one another.
lyrics
When they talk at mirror
He’ll be waiting
He’ll be waiting
When they roll over
It awakens
It awakens
You don’t know the mess he made
When they get paid
You don’t know the recipe
There’s no rule book
It’s scripture
It’s scripture
Pro revolt
On with ya
It’s scripture
It’s scripture
Good for something
In picture
It’s scripture
When they
Wash off the day
He’ll be waiting
He’ll be waiting
When the clocks strikes one
It will quicken
It will quicken
You don’t know the mess he made
When they get paid
You don’t know the recipe
There’s no rule book
It’s scripture - It’s
When they talk at mirror
He’ll be waiting
He’ll waiting
When they roll over
It will quicken
It will quicken
You don’t know the mess he made
When they get paid
You don’t know the recipe
There’s no rule book
It scripture - it’s
Delta of faux
Iridescent
No enemies
Real energy

Smart, energetic and hooky; modern take on a post-punk/new wavey vibe with lyrics that perfectly capture the distortions of modern life, social media, etc. Claire Battle
Opener absolutely rips. Falls into the ranks of tracks like “Dance” by ESG, “Eisbaer” by Grauzone, “Damaged Goods” by Gang of Four or like the album description says Kleenex. This is some really good stuff. Favorite song is the opener but dedicate “Blue” to my friend Blue who lost her life at 22, she would have loved this album. TheBloodofChrist
