after the release of debut single 'veronica's veil', fan death return with their brand new limited edition 5 track ep. 'veronica's veil' was released through erol alkan's phantasy label, and set off an a+r whirlwind. having signed to the pharmacy recording company, a new imprint of mercury, dandi and marta toured with florence and the machine in the uk, before disappearing to start work on what will become their debut album, set for release in spring 2010. for now, they are releasing the first fruits of their recording - 'a coin for the well'. recorded with producer eric broucek of dfa at their plantain studios in new york. if ;veronica's veil' harked back to the golden age of disco, then 'a coin for the well' moves things forward, adding elements from heyday of synth pop, with influences such as the pet shop boys, the human league and soft cell.
