Fly
Pan Am
is a young montréal-based instrumental rock quartet whose
ear for melody, honed in large part through obsessive exposure
to the French pop tradition, is combined with a strong forward-looking
experimentalism, driven by an intransigent faith in the unfulfilled
possibilities of minimalism and musique concrète in rock
composition. fly pan am address and engage a tradition of art-punk
that encompasses VU, talking heads & sonic youth, maintaining
an exuberant innocence while consciously disavowing primitivist
elements in favour of structural refinement . roger, one of
the group's two guitarists, was recruited by godspeed you black
emperor! in the summer of 1998, but fly pan am remains his primary
project. j.s., the group's bassist, also played in the now-defunct
montréal hardcore band wisigoth. the band 's other members
include jonathan on guitar and felix on drums. all members contribute
to the tape-based element of the music. |
