American rock band HEALTH was able to reach a wider fan base with their well-received 2009 album, Get Color, and with a May 24 article by Sasha Frere-Jones published in The New Yorker, which focused on noise music today. With a new album released in late June, HEALTH is back.

HEALTH released their second remix album titled HEALTH::DISCO2, which featured remixes of songs from Get Color by prominent electronic and experimental artists such as Crystal Castles, Tobacco, Blindfoldfreak, Pictureplane and several others.

While their studio albums are typically classified as being noise-rock, electronic music also figures into their sound with the use of synthesizers and heavy effects pedal use. Like on their previous remix album, HEALTH//DISCO, the electronic music element is the most prominent sound on HEALTH::DISCO2.

"Before Tigers (Gold Panda RMX)" features an ambient IDM sound similar to Squarepusher or Venetian Snares, though not as minimalist or avant-garde as "Severin (Small Black RMX)." For people more interested in dancing to music, tracks "Die Slow (Tobacco RMX)" and "Die Slow (Pictureplane RMX)" are bound to get you moving. I'd recommend this album to anyone who truly appreciates the diversity of electronic music.
