Full Circle

---

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’.

‘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.

Bruce says,

“There’s so much happening in the world right now but I don’t feel like I’m the man to speak on it. I’ve got too many parking tickets to pay off. This song is for everyone, from the people who spend more time down the local pub than at home, to the people who spend more time at work than with their families. To those of us raised on McDonald’s, when we took the Happy Meal on face value, double cheap and an absolute treat.

Everyday life isn’t often that glamorous and we might feel like the little things don’t matter, but to most people that’s all we have time for – and there’s nothing wrong with that. The little things are just as meaningful.”

‘Full Circle’ was solely written and produced by Good Health Good Wealth.

Bruce’s Good Health Good Wealth cohort is the guitarist and producer Simon Kuzmickas, whose earliest musical memories stemmed from travelling with his dad to a post-soviet era underground pirate CD market in his home country of Lithuania. Back in London they first met where else?  Over a drink at Wetherspoons. Whether it was curry night or steak night is lost to memory, but the important thing was that the roots of Good Health Good Wealth were set. They first formed a punk band, but lockdown pushed them in a different direction: they found writing and producing a more productive creative conduit rather than simply jamming.

Drawing on eclectic influences like N.E.R.D., Daft Punk, Kanye West, The Streets and Mac Miller and referencing pop culture figures as varied as Ronnie O’Sullivan, Clark Gable and Gucci Mane, their sound evolved and broke away from genre conventions over the course of two EPs (‘RICH’ and last year’s ‘Everyone Feels Like This’) and a handful of standalone tracks. Along the way they’ve teamed up with select collaborators such as The Skinner Brothers, Happy Cat Jay, SUBCULTURE, Hard-Fi and Rarelyalways, while recent festival sets have included the Isle of Wight, Truck and Brockwood.

And what’s in a name? Good Health Good Wealth instantly sticks in the mind and makes for killer merch, but there’s substance behind it too. Conceived as a light-hearted moniker, they realised the power of the message behind it after losing a close friend to health issues caused by an unhealthy lifestyle. While their lyrics sometimes reference the low-key pleasures of fast food, the name also references a simple truth: for many of us good health is as close as we’ll ever come to good wealth. But there’s a playful side to them too, as demonstrated by a Flight of the Conchords-style music industry satire video that they recently posted on socials.

Good Health Good Wealth recently sold-out a London headline show at The Social, and are now set to play their first international gig on the This Feeling / Radio X stage at Viva Sounds in Gothenburg on November 30th. They recently announced their next London headline show at The Lower Third on February 7th.
