01.30.2010 Fan Death is super duper Vancouver lady duo who are surely going to be bringing us some Alist material in 2010. At least that's what the blogs and papers would like us to believe. With all the hype behind these two, I had to wonder if it was warranted. So I put my detective hat, monocle, and cape on, called my trusted sidekick and started building a case. After many hours of intensive private eying these two ladies, I managed to not [...]
2010 seems to be the year for up and coming Christmas Island twosome Fan Death (which, somehow, is also a ridiculous Korean urban legend regarding electric fans). They've already announced a slew of US dates with Little Boots, they've got a brand new EP on it's way and now, none other than Vampire Weekend have picked them for a UK tour support slot.
Filed under: News , Electronic , Exclusive , New Music , Canada The sassy disco-inspired duo Fan Death are in good spirits today. Spinner exclusively reports that the red-hot Vancouver outfit has signed to Last Gang Records for the February 23 release of their debut EP 'A Coin For The Well' and subsequent full-length 'Womb of Dreams' slated for May 2010. Hailed by the Guardian as the next Hercules & Love Affair , Dandilion Wind Opaine and Marta Jacuibek have [...]
Two and a half months it's taken me to update...wow. Frankly, there's been music I've loved, but without appropriate links and enough time and motivation, I won't go out of my way, and that's been the problem. But then, last night I got in one of my "need to discover new music ASAP" moods and started going around to some sites I frequent, but forgetting the URL to one, I did a googling and instead found another site which led me to spend a good 2 hours on it and find a full desktop worth of new free [...]
Vancouver-based, dark disco-pop duo Fan Death , who quickly became hot fodder for music blogs everywhere a year ago, are back with the catchy anthem "Cannibal" and the visually-stimulating video for "Reunited," two strong songs to get us excited for the upcoming January release of their EP, A Coin for the Well . Dandilion Wind Opaine and Marta Jaciubek-McKeever are two friends who came together to form Fan Death, which is the South Korean myth that if you fall asleep in a room with an electric fan you will suffocate and die! Their usage [...]
Fan Death is string driven disco pop band that is a collaboration between Dandilion Wind Opaine, Marta Jacuibek and producer Szam Findlay. To date they have released 2 12" records: Veronica's Veil on Erol Alkan's Phantasy Sounds imprint and Cannibal on Tokyo based Big Love Records. They have a 5 track EP titled "A Coin For the Well" coming out on Pharmacy records in the new year that was mixed by longtime DFA in house mixer Eric Broucek to be followed quickly by a full length LP. Fan Death - Reunited [...]
Fancy a sneak preview of the forthcoming Fan Death EP? The track is called 'Cannibal' and it's a nice slice of dramatic disco-pop much in a similar build to Veronica's Veil', really love the strings on it. It's begging for some remixery action for sure. ♫ Fan Death - Cannibal [ M ] The EP is out January 4th on The Pharmacy Recording Company. The EP will have have an extended version of 'Reunited' on it. Check the video below.
Fan Death return with a sneak preview of their new EP, A Coin For The Well , due for release 4th January 2010 on The Pharmacy Recording Company. Following on from the recent success of the brilliant " Reunited " video, their latest track " Cannibal " has its roots in the disco of "Veronica's Veil", driven by a brilliant string motif with dazzling results. It is also the lead track off the EP, a hook-filled dancefloor hit that is a pure leftfield pop classic in the making. [...]
We've been playing this new Fan Death track for a bit, and their great cover of Q Lazarus which you can find on the blogs. This video is like some odd Wes Anderson b-movie, watch it until the end.
One of the hardest things about doing a blog, I believe, is staying consistent. It's one thing to say you do a blog, it's another thing to actually do it and do it day in and day out. As of late I've been struggling with that very concept. Not because I don't enjoy doing this, because trust me I love this, but simply because I've been buried in work. If you read POP! Stereo regularly you'll know that I was on vacation a couple of weeks ago. Upon my return I was greeted with over 1100 emails. That's [...]
London's Fan Death are getting ready to release a New EP called 'A Coin for the Well' with the first single being 'Reunited'. In addition they also have a full album on the way. Lots to look forward to from these lovely ladies! Here is their excellent video for 'Reunited' . If you go here and give them your email address you can download the track for Free! Score!
Próximas a lanzar su ep "A coin for the well" , las chicas de Fan Death nos entregan un adelanto de lo que será su nuevo material. Se trata del single Reunited , tema que nos presentan con esta divertida añadidura: Un gracioso video con guiños a distintos íconos de la música, pero en una versión particularmente decadente. Billy Corgan, Prince, Axl Rose, Marilyn Manson y hasta Björk son algunos de los "artistas" invitados (imitaciones) que desfilan en escena mientras las chicas [...]
FAN DEATH is back...well REUNITED is more like it. I've found myself constantly humming this new track since I first heard it. The video is an all out celebrity fest with some 'just in time for Halloween' cameos from Marilyn Manson, Axel Rose, Prince - to name a few. New EP A Coin For The Well is out soon. Full length please! - Matt MP3 DOWNLOAD Reunited [...]
Fan Death is back with a interesting new music video for their track "Reunited" off their latest album A Coin For The Well. Check it out and see if you can name all the icons "appearing" on this new music...
Totally one of my favorites from the new album despite what some people are saying. The xx have just dropped an official vid for their reworking of the Florence and the Machine track, "You've Got the Love." And finally, Fan Death, a band you may remember from my best of 2k8 list last year. I see Perez Hilton was hyping them a couple of days ago. The guy is a loser but occasionally he gets it right with his music picks (guests for his tour notwithstanding). These girls [...]
Αστείο, εμπνευσμένο, πολύχρωμο...Gassy!!! Πρέπει να το δεις. Μέχρι το τέλος. Παίζει και η Agrado! New video from Fan Death featuring special extended mix of "Reunited" from forthcoming EP "A Coin For The Well" c/o The Pharmacy Recording Co. Shot by Nathan Drillot, directed by Dandi. Click here to get a free mp3.
The American countryside is littered with musical icons then? Fan Death are back (and about time too!) with, this, the headline track of their forthcoming EP 'A Coin For The Well'. 'Reunited' is Fan Death maintaining their prefect track record for off-centre Indie-Electro that manages to sound ominous yet uplifting at the same time. The video is just genius and follows Dandi traversing the last 30 years of pop after her car breaks down. It was directed by Dandi herself. [...]
