Fly Pan Am is a Montreal-based rock quintet formed in 1996. They emerged alongside other instrumental/experimental rock groups such as Exhaust, *Godspeed You! Black Emperor*, and *The Shalabi Effect*. Known for their melodic ear and (de)construction approach, Fly Pan Am draws inspiration from French pop, krautrock, minimalism, and musique concrète in punk rock. After four releases of chiming instrumental rock from 1998–2005, the band went on hiatus in 2006. However, they reformed in 2018 with their original members and released the album "C'est ça" in 2019.

With influences ranging from *Hangedup* to *Tortoise*, Fly Pan Am's music resonates with fans who appreciate intricate interweaving guitar and bass lines propelled by insistent motorik drumming. Their sound captures the unfulfilled possibilities of minimalism while embracing experimentalism.

If you enjoy artists like *1-Speed Bike*, *Do Make Say Think*, or *Labradford*, then Fly Pan Am is a must-listen for you. Their unique blend of genres creates an immersive musical experience that will leave you wanting more.

C'est Ca marks the reunion of Montreal avant-rock quartet Fly Pan Am, who released an acclaimed series of albums in Constellation's early years, from 1999-2004. The band's heady collision of motorik repetition, shoegaze maximalism, punk skronk, tape- and electronic- based interventions and audio sabotage, garnered them a cult following among fans of audaciously deconstructed post-rock. Fly Pan Am quietly reunited in late 2017 for purely artistic reasons (needless to say), to explore making new music together after more than a decade spent in pursuit of separate sonic adventures. Within weeks, it was clear the band was firing on all cylinders again, brimming with electricity and eager to pick up where they’d left off with their last album N’écoutez Pas back in 2004: pushing further into full- spectrum intersections of noise pop, post-punk, power electronics and musique concrète, while continuing to incorporate shrouded, textural vocals as alternately melodic and visceral components. C'est Ca is a welcome return to form - an album of undeniably renewed vitality and experimentation where rock structures underpinned by J.S. Truchy's trademark rapid-fire bass and Felix Morel's disciplined, ascetic drumming are submerged beneath waves of processed guitar by Roger Tellier-Craig and Jonathan Parant, with fluorescent noise treatments and sonic vandalisms wrought by all four. Songs variously nod to key influences like MBV and Husker Du, the intrepid proto-Kosmiche of This Heat and Can, and later style-adjacent torchbearers like Boredoms, Flying Saucer Attack and Trans Am - all the while collapsing into/out of themselves in various ways. But Fly Pan Am have always and reliably been much more than the sum of their influences: C'est Ca is terrific new collection of restless, conceptual, viscerally ethereal noise rock that could come from no other band, sparkling with the creative buzz of lifelong artistic intensity, dialogue and friendship.
