Gut Health - Stiletto (Vinyl)
Gut Health are a six-piece ensemble from Naarm/Melbourne whose sound blurs the boundaries of guitar music, weaving hypnotic dance-punk, no wave and chaotic noise with nightclub-inspired soundscapes.
Songs flicker between atonality and melodicism, while expanding into engulfing, kaleidoscopic soundscapes, reinforced by a groove-heavy rhythm section that reflects the diverse musical backgrounds of each player.
Gut Health’s 2022 debut EP, Electric Party Chrome Girl (EPCG), self-recorded in a storage facility in the heart of Brunswick, was initially an exercise in sonic exploration. Originally designed as a collection of demos, the band were satisfied with the raw quality of the recordings and decided to mark it as their first body of work. It was released locally via Marthouse Records and mixed and mastered by Simon Maisch.
Their debut full-length offering Stiletto arrived in late 2024. Out via Highly Contagious and AWAL Recordings, Gut Health’s debut is an immersive ten-track foray, with songs oscillating between hypnosis and noise, edging precariously toward collapse yet maintaining Gut Health’s sense of danceability.
Recorded with long-term collaborator Julian Cue and Gut Health’s Dom Willmott at Button Pusher Studios and APAX Warehouse in Preston, produced by Dom Willmott and bandmate Adam Markmann, and mixed by Portland’s Evan Mersky (Lithics) on a 24-track reel-to-reel tape machine, Stiletto builds upon EPCG’s scaffolding, offering a more realised and expansive exploration of Gut Health’s musical core.
The central elements of Gut Health’s music - chaotic verses juxtaposed with danceable rhythms and melodicism remain – but Stiletto encapsulates a vaster sense of depth and dimension.

Info columns
PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.
OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
SHIPPING
Flying Nun offers free shipping in Aotearoa New Zealand on orders over $80. We have record stores in both Auckland and Wellington and will ship your record from whichever store is nearest. We aim to pack send your order next business day. Pick ups are also available from both stores.
