Good Health Good Wealth

In the space of two EPs, Good Health Good Wealth have ridden a first wave of tastemaker attention, their amalgamation of alternative indie and UK hip-hop earning Radio 1 plays from Jack Saunders and Sian Eleri plus praise from whynow and Louder Than War. But the London-based duo are perfectly primed to take the sharp wit and astute social commentary to much wider audiences, starting with today’s release of the new single ‘Full Circle’. The track has just received its first play courtesy of John Kennedy at Radio X and previews their upcoming third EP.

‘Full Circle’ sees vocalist, producer and songwriter Bruce Breakey narrate a day-in-the-life of an ordinary twenty-something man in London. While that’s the location, what he surveys is replicated right across the land: a country full of decimated high streets in which you’re only ever a few steps away from a chicken shop or a sports bar populated with coked-up punters playing pool. But that stark portrayal is lightened by the barbed wit of eviscerating lyrics like, “My jeans are full of more holes than a racist’s argument.” The music flows just as essentially, feeling a little like The Streets going back to their roots with a touch of the taut intensity of clipping.
