Fan Death.

OK, I'm going to start nice and easy here. Fan Death are a shoo-in for one of the year's most exciting and, judging by these two tracks, talented disco outfits. The girl duo craft wonderful sultry synth-laden disco with added pop zest reminiscent of Glass Candy. While it is a comparison leveled at far too many bands these days, here we're sure you'll agree, it is justified. Mining the same late 70s - early 80s vein of influence as Johnny Jewel and his contemporaries on the Italians Do It Better label, it's a wonder Mike Simonetti hasn't snapped them up already. It will be interesting to see who does because right now they don't appear to have a label.

Veronica's Veil is a statement of purpose: lascivious female vocal, orchestral strings and popping analog circuitry, sits atop a rolling synth baseline in a gorgeous slice of Cerrone-style disco. It couldn't be more perfect. The Best Night is slightly more chilly and European in flavour but a poppy warmth stops it dropping too far below zero. There are moments where the groove gets subtly spacey - in a Human League kind of a way. Both tracks define everything we love about good disco at the minute.

If you like what you here - and why wouldn't you? - be sure to head over to their myspace for more music.
