I'm really, really, beginning to dig this duo, Fan Death . There is a certain coolness to all their songs. Possibly the non-chalant singing accompanied with clean disco sounds. Well despite the specifics, this pair is one to watch out for. Easily comparable to The Chromatics and Glass Candy . Fan Death - The Constellations Fan Death - When The Money's Right
Listen to Immuzikation's new blend of Fan Death's "When the Money's Right" with Hercules & Love Affair's "Blind". "Blind Death" | download Here's an extra tune that the girls of Fan Death are giving away in their myspace . "Veronica's Veil" | download | lyrics [...]
Enjoy your Labor Day y'all. Put this track on repeat. It'll help. When you decide to mix Fan Death 's "When The Money's Right" and Hercules & Love Affair 's "Blind" together to create this Frankenstein-ed stew, your true genius is shown. Immuzikation , we salute you right now. (mp3) Fan Death + Hercules and Love Affair - Blind Death (Immuzikation Blend) Godspeed!
Happy Labor Day, everyone. If you're lucky not to work in retail, you're at home looking at this before you head out to some radical barbecue. That's great for those of you who are allowed to be in the sun for more than 10 minutes. Obviously as a ginger, I am not permitted much more than that; it's quite sad. Instead of going out to "catch some rays," I offer you up some fresh tracks well worth checking out, so hit up this week's Radio Exile mp3 Mixtape. In this edition: [...]
photo from Kang A Ji on flickr "Fan death is a South Korean urban legend which states that an electric fan, if left running overnight in a closed room, can cause the death (by suffocation, poisoning, or hypothermia) of those inside". That may be the single most crazy thing I've heard today, enough said. The whole reason why I came across this was a quest to dig into the greatness of disco/owl-lovers Fan Death first brought to me by the always great gorillavsbear . They play disco like every other hip kid in town, but they actually [...]
This is an easy post - because everybody from 20JFG to GVB to HRU have posted Fan Death up. I must admit I didn't pay much attention until they were everywhere and now it's my duty... haha. But for reals. Remember when nu-rave became more about rave and less about nu? Well that's kinda how nu-disco is becoming... less about the nu and more about the disco. And while I'm less than interested in listening to rave dissolve into fidget, I cannot wait for disco to dissolve into whatever it will dissolve [...]
i instantly fell in love with the fan death when i first heard them on 20 jazz funk greats . as i am such a chaotic slacker, i forgot all about posting them and in the meantime, the american girl/girl band has been featured by some more tastemakers and opinion leaders . it's easy to see why everyone is all hyped about fan death , all of their songs are really catchy and yet manage to meet all demands of the average indie snob. in a similar way as chromatics [...]
Lunedì 1 Settembre. Credo sia il Lunedì più temuto di tutti i tempi. Il Lunedì della ripresa, quello che sancisce non solo l'avvio della settimana (con conseguente bye bye ai bagordi del weekend) ma anche quello che apre il mese settembrino. In parole povere oggi le vacanze sono finite. Si, tanta gente non è ancora rientrata... si, fa ancora caldo. Ma Agosto è terminato, si ritorna tutti al lavoro/scuola/università. La pacchia è finita, verrebbe da dire. Non è detto. Personalmente sono contento: ho voglia di riattivarmi, di rimettermi a lavoro. [...]
I feel like AUTHENTIC DISCO is the only 'faggy dance music genre' that every1 feels comfortable appreciating these days. Whether it's the electro-bloghouse-authdisco act GLASS CANDY, or the P4kcore+authentic disco acts HERCULES AND LOVE AFFAIR or THE CHROMATICS--these acts can be legitimately appreciated by entry-level alts & 38 year old music critics for the same reasons. I think people feel like they can appreciate authentic disco because it's more meaningful than blog house/they think the 'disco sound' has had a relevant impact on society+music history. The thing about modern authentic disco is that I [...]
You guys seemed to like that Fan Death stuff from the other day as much as I did, so here's another track that's available for free download on the group's myspace page . " When the Money's Right " is a pulsing, cinematic instrumental, and like the duo's exceptional first single, " Veronica's Veil ," it's the live strings that really set it apart: mp3: fan death :: when the money's right ****************************** ****************** [...]
Fan Death has been a name I've been seeing pop up on some of the webs more interesting music blogs lately. When I discovered that the group was signed to Italians do it better , the home of pop-disco phenomenons Glass Candy , I decided to check them out and found that these "two felines of the night" are a pair of dark fantasy discoers that will fit in just right in their new home. Their first single " Veronica's Veil ", soon to be released has a strong beat [...]

A few singles and albums, old and new, of what's been being played at quarterlife over the past few weeks. Singles Dept of Eagles - "Noone Does it Like You" Layered jangly 60's pop/rock kind of music. Very catchy vocal harmonies that skips along at a nice beat.

Fan Death reminds me of Glass Candy and Siouxsie (of the Banshees) and just jammin' in the studio. This track is a disco stomper, and sounds perfectly un-polished. It's made its way across the biggest and best of the blog's, so if you have already heard it...dim the lights and listen again! Enjoy! Veronica's Veil ( Download )
Some of my favorite online destinations have been raving about a sultry new disco-pop group called Fan Death . While the jams on their myspace are all pretty consistently sexy, " Veronica's Veil " is the obvious "hit" (12" coming soon): a string-laden after-hours gem with an authentic retro-disco feel, the song sounds like the most spellbinding Italians Do It Better single of the year. It's new(er), darker, vaguely Knife -like song " The Constellations ," though, that's been on repeat all day, rendering me enamored [...]

cause it's war in my head and I'm ready to disco. Discovered a very righteous act, Fan Death , and I'm very impressed. Fan Death depicts some good old sounding disco. Check out the chorus and the synths on the track, The Best Night. "To die for!" Visit Fan Death's myspace for more tunes. Fan Death - The Best Night DEF DIG Fan Death - Veronicas Veil
Another twosome on the rise, Fan Death . I don't know much about 'em but damn, these are some classy tunes. Strutting, addictive and dare I say it, authentic kind of disco. Apparently Erol's working with them now so that should give you reason enough to dive into them now. Fan Death - Veronica's Veil Fan Death - The Best Night FAN DEATH
It's not everyday that you hear a sexy disco-pop song about a mysterious religious relic that was used to wipe the sweat off Jesus' face on his way to crucifixion. One of the Stations of the Cross is dedicated to the event and apparently it's a pretty big deal, up there with the Shroud of Turin, as his image is supposed to have transferred onto the cloth. Sounds like a History Channel documentary in the making - round up some extras and get ready for some killer reanactments. If Chromatics are [...]
