HEALTH announce remix album, tour dates

By Alex Young on April 18th, 2008

On May 13, Los Angeles indie rockers HEALTH will release a companion remix album to the band’s 2007 debut, self-titled album. Entitled HEALTH//DISCO, the album will features remixes by Crystal Castles, Acid Girls, and Thrust Lab. What’s more, also included will be something called “Disco+” remixes.

“Every artist on the record was hand selected and contacted by us with the hope of combining our sounds and musical ideas with those of electronic artists we admire, several of them doing remixes for the first time. It is not about market saturation or crossover appeal. It is purely about the music, and we are proud of it. This is an album, and meant to be listened to as one. The goal of this record is not only to present all these songs at once, but also to ensure that they are not forgotten in the constantly updating, content hungry internet music world.”

In support of the release, HEALTH will soon embark a pretty extensive world tour, which will include a stop at Spain’s Primavera Sound.
