Fan Death chilled out by Ghost Hunter

I love ‘Reunited’, it’s one of my most played tracks this month, i seriously can’t wait for Fan Death’s ‘A Coin In The Well’ EP that the track is taken from.

To tide us over, have a listen to this reMix of ‘reunited’ by Sheffield based Electronica artist Ghost Hunter. Dragging Fan Death into strange new places, Ghost Hunter morphs Fan Death’s moody disco into moody electronic soundscapes. Nice use of the lead line!

Fan Death; another new video!

Fan Death are really pulling out all the stops in preparation for their forthcoming EP ‘A Coin In The Well’!

This is the second video taken from the EP, it’s a weird little story. Creepy, but fun.

We also received this reMix of the previous amazing track off the EP, Reunited’ by Ccenturiess in the electronic rumors inbox. It spaces things out a bit and piles on the Simmonds toms!

More new Fan Death!

Here we have another sneak peek at Fan Death’s forthcoming, eagerly anticipate, EP ‘A Coin In The Well’!

‘Cannibal’ has got more of the strings 7 disco vibe that ‘Veronica’s Veil’ had compared to ‘Reunited’, the last track we heard. I couldn’t pick between the two for lead track though, I honestly can’t wait to hear the rest!

Fan Death travel the pop landscape

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.

And the tune’s just a good without the video! The video features an extended cut of the track (to fit all the cameos in!).

Fan Death – Goodbye Horses

Fan Death2

Fan Death have dropped some more dark quirky SynthPop by way of a cover of Q Lazarus’ ‘Goodbye Horses’, it’s actually better than the original!

Interestingly (or maybe not…), as well as having been covered also by SynthPop/EBM project Psyche, Q Lazarus (the band, not the singer) featured Mark Barrett, one-time member of London Electro-Industrial group Inertia. Well…what do you say to that fact fans?

Also, here’s the video for Fan Death’s massive ‘Veronica’s Veil’, directed by Nathan Drillot & Jesse Savath:

Fan Death are in the UK very soon, check their MySpace for details.

Frankmusik‘s new single ‘Better Off As Two’ is set to drop on April 2nd and is exactly the kind of ElectoPop goodness we’ve come to expect from the guy.

The man brings himself some noise on his own reMix.

Fan Death on ‘da bill!

fandeath

Don’t you just love it when you’ve got tickets to see a band you want to see (in this case Simian Mobile Disco) and they just keep piling other bands, you also want to see, onto the bill!

I found out yesterday that Fan Death are supporting!!!

Last year Fan Death released their début single ‘Veronica’s Veil’, a heady mix of dark Indie-Electro, Disco strings and Pop melodies.

I hope their live performace is as interesting as they seem to be, it should be a cool night.

Check Erol Alkan‘s extended version of the singe:
