Health - Health//Disco

Ever since their S/T debut album came out last September, I wanted to like Los Angeles noise band, Health. I downloaded their album, listened to it, and then decided that it was a bit too noisy and not melodic enough for my tastes. Fast forward several months later and I happened upon a live performance by Health on YouTube. Needless to say, they blew me away and I decided to give them a second chance, which brings us up to speed with this entry. This Tuesday, Health are releasing Health//Disco, a remix album of their debut album that I shunned last year. I figured no better time like the present to give them a second chance, right? I guess all it took was some beats and a little melodic cohesion, because after one listen, I can actually get on-board with this remixed version of Health. Noisy slabs of sound like "Triceratops," " Crimewave," and "Heaven" turn into electro-fueled dance tracks that, while they won't exactly be played at a club any time soon, are still full of enough beats to provide the soundtrack to any hipster dance party. I might not be a huge fan of Health on recordings, but Health//Disco definitely proves that this quartet has a lot more to them than squalls of sound.
