The song we are looking to focus on is 'Euphoria', from their most recent album Death Magic.
Their move towards ambience has removed some of their mainstream appeal, yet they remain popular among fans of electronic and rock music.
Their twitter account, @_HEALTH_ , currently has 79.2k followers, and is relatively active- posting about touring, music, and the band in general. The high engagement on their posts indicates a large online following.
