Fly Pan Am

Fly Pan Am is a Montreal-based rock quintet 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 and Sonic Youth, maintaining an exuberant innocence while consciously disavowing primitivist elements in favour of structural refinement.
