On first glance, the line-up on ‘Shame Engine / Blood Pleasure’, the seventh studio album from Chicago’s Health&Beauty, might indicate a passing of the torch. The recording features a large cast of musicians from the outfit’s past and its present helping the band’s founder and sole constant Brian J Sulpizio achieve his idiosyncratic vision – a sound and ethos he’s been kicking around, retooling and finessing for more than 15 years, a few years after moving to Chicago from his native Defiance, Ohio in 2000.

From song to song the band’s sound encapsulates detail-rich pop songs, extended jamming inspired by Chicago’s free jazz legacy and devastatingly potent country-folk tunes. Sulpizio has never been hung up on genre but his imagination and musicianship has allowed him to bring far-flung ideas to beautiful fruition.

“They explore the tricksy time signatures and artful insouciance of Deerhoof or Tortoise with aplomb.” – Mojo

“The passive loveliness of Brian J. Sulpizio’s voice […], his melodies call to mind the soft dreaminess of Sufjan Stevens” – The Sunday Times
