GOOD HEALTH GOOD WEALTH

Good Health Good Wealth (GHGW) split genres faster than they do lyrics in their generation-defining, life-quibbling debut album: This Time Next Year We’ll Be Millionaires. GHGW take clear inspiration from the artists they no doubt cut their musical teeth exploring: The Streets, Eminem, Arctic Monkeys. It’s thick with drum loops, gritty riffs and grittier narration. For two lads exploring the modern life for a twenty-something, it could well be considered a masterpiece snapshot of modern life. Bruce Breakey and Simon Kuzmickas collide shimmering production with the spoken word into a cleverly-crafted seven day diary. For a British debut, this is more than noteworthy!

MODERN LIFE SOUNDS RUBBISH, AND IT’S GREAT

GHGW are young men from London who refuse to sit still and hold back on finding their way in the midst of an ever-changing capital city. The trappings of modern life are all caught here: Vodka Lemonade, Ray Winstone, Matt Damon films, and the cost implications of Tom Ford fragrances and Gucci footwear. (There’s also a beautifully crafted reference to Victor Moses hidden within the album which is worthy of the entrance fee alone). The modern, crisp production of these tracks, mixed with truly compelling tales is an intoxicating mix.  

Full Circle opens the album with a parking ticket metaphor that spirals into something far more. Over a UK garage backing track, Breakey’s wit cuts through the mundane frustration of modern life “‘Cos I’m 160 quid down, and I can’t work out if there’s any consistency there.” The guitars shimmer with an almost post-punk urgency while the delivery drifts between observation and genuine vulnerability. It’s The Streets in bed with Bloc Party (in a Peckham off-license), and it lands hard. The Cafe is an altogether dreamier affair with the spacier refrains cut through with one of the melodic vocals on the album. 

UK GARAGE MENACE AND ARCTIC MONKEYS JANGLE

“Why does everything in my life turn to shit? My ex told me I manifested it.” The opening of You Don’t Know Me has instantaneous impact. It’s a true lament with a defiant, punchy narrative. This is a masterclass in controlled anger and the vocal delivery, almost languid. It removes all barriers to bring Breakey direct through the ears of the listener.

The UK-Garage near returns in White Men which serves as a poem of anti-consumerism; a warning for all those caught in the web of labels and brands. This is a menacing centrepiece with sparse production set alongside satirical observations of privilege and expectation. Contrasting this comes I Forgot which lifts a riff straight from the debut album of Arctic Monkeys or Foals. It’s here where Good Health Good Wealth showcase their versatility and musical prowess. Lyrically, Breakey matches it beat-for-beat with descriptions of boozy night and cheap drinks. This is warm-beer-soaked hedonism backed by an almost-indie anthem. 

Beautiful Boy offers a moment of melancholic reflection. It brings the pace of the album back to a saunter with its balladesque delivery. This is as close GHGW have to something psychedelic; the soundscape is builds upon gentle guitar loop. This is GHGW at their most vulnerable and the blurry introspection points immediately to youthful innocence. The title track closes us out: This Time Next Year We’ll Be Millionaires is the emotional anchor for the album and pulls everything together: the production and clever-crafted narratives that we had previously been treated to. It smartly samples the same riff from the album’s opening. 

GOOD HEALTH LONGEVITY

Good Health Good Wealth’s longevity will come through their compelling story-telling of narratives from modern living, alongside their ability to build a range of genre beats with searing melodies. This Time Next Year We’ll Be Millionaires stands up as a strong debut album and is rich in high-quality production. GHGW haven’t just created a room within a crowded genre, but they’ve built their own genre. The cynicism and vulnerability of the vocal make this a must-listen for anyone seeking out a defining voice to take us into the later half of the 20s. With this quality debut, GHGW have set a high bar for everything to follow. This Time Next Year We’ll Be Millionaires is out now and the band tour the UK later in November.
