Although LA art-noise merchants HEALTH spent much of the past year melting faces with selections from their excellent Get Color album, it’s clear that the boys never lost their affinity for the dancefloor. Their forthcoming DISCO2 is packed with remixes from Javelin, Salem, Blondes, Pictureplane, and more, but it also features “USA Boys,” the only new original track to appear on the album. Yet the song doesn’t seem out of place; devoid of the band’s usual ear-splitting aesthetic, the track rolls along on a hip-hop beat flanked by synths that wouldn’t sound out of place on a Rihanna cut (this is a good thing), yet still features the band’s spooky vocal stylings and just a touch of their signature squall.
