Quite liking Fan Death. They’ve got this interesting Hercules and Love Affair vibe going on, with string instruments being used to play house melodies.

In fact this one:

Fan Death - When The Money’s Right

reminds me of this:

Williams Fairley Band - Can U Dance? (DJ Fast Eddie cover)

ie. the acid brass cover of Fast Eddie’s classic techno tune:

DJ Fast Eddie - Can U Dance? (1988)

This one’s really got the Glass Candy feeling going on:

Fan Death - Veronica’s Veil

BTW the name has a pretty crazy source, from a popular delusion in South Korea that a fan running in an enclosed space will consume the air and cause death. Those crazy South Koreans!
