<\/div>\n

Indie pop duo The Bird and the Bee have announced that they\u2019re releasing a Van Halen<\/a> tribute album, sharing the single \u201cAin\u2019t Talking \u2018Bout Love.\u201d Interpreting the Masters Volume<\/em><\/span> 2: A Tribute to Van Halen<\/em> will be out on August 2nd.<\/p>\n

The album will be in the style of the duo\u2019s 2010 record Interpreting the Masters, Vol. 1: A Tribute to Daryl Hall and John Oates<\/em>, crafting a band\u2019s classics into a new genre. Vocalist Inara George and multi-instrumentalist Greg Kurstin (who\u2019s produced for Adele, Sia, Beck, Pink and more) rework \u201cAin\u2019t Talking \u2018Bout Love,\u201d from Van Halen\u2019s 1978 self-titled debut, into a lush synth-pop jam that skews closer to the Eighties. The duo previously released their cover of \u201cPanama,\u201d<\/a> which will also appear on the album.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I want to listen to hard-rock music there\u2019s still nothing that<\/span> hits me like they do,\u201d said Kurstin in a statement. \u201cEvery time I hear them it takes me back to when I first found them on the radio, and it felt so dangerous to me\u2014like they were from a whole other world. It would be so great if people who would never usually listen to<\/span> Van Halen heard this record, and then ended falling in love with them too.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Bird and the Bee will embark on a 15-date tour later this year, kicking off at Los Angeles\u2019 John Anson Ford Theater on August 2nd. The opening show will feature Dave Grohl from Foo Fighters on drums and Justin Meldal-Johnsen on bass. Inara George will then continue the tour with a backing band, stopping in Chicago, Brooklyn, Birmingham, Austin and more before ending the tour in San Francisco.<\/p>\n
