Fly Pan Am, or Le Fly Pan Am, is a Canadian experimental rock band formed in Montreal in 1996. They released their albums through the Montreal-based Constellation Records, producing and collaborating on works with the likes of Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Shalabi Effect.
The band was formed in 1996 by guitarists Jonathan Parant and Roger Tellier-Craig, drummer Felix Morel, and bassist Jean-Sebastian Truchy. Eric Gingras would later on join the band in 2002, contributing guitar and percussion.
They shared personnel with Godspeed You! Black Emperor until guitarist Roger Tellier-Craig left Godspeed You! Black Emperor in 2003 to concentrate full time on Fly Pan Am. In 2005, Roger Tellier-Craig and Eric Gingras began the french psychedelic kraut-pop outfit known as Pas Chic Chic along with other members of Montreal’s illustrious music scene.
The band is noticeably influenced by the French Canadian culture of Quebec, as well as the burgeoning avant-garde musical scene in Montreal. French is the predominant language used in producing albums and writing lyrics, with English peppered throughout. The track titles on past records, as stated by Roger Tellier-Craig, were written in a way to interpret the song, which Tellier-Craig concedes was “lost on most listeners” due to the French used. Unorthodox electronic sounds, occasionally provided by Alexandre St-Onge, intersect the music and often serve to confuse the listener.

I've very recently (that is to say, within the past few hours) gotten into Fly Pan Am, because I've been trying to branch out in my post-rock listening, and as I cycle my way through their discography I can't help but recall memories of reading 'Cement'. Something about the electronic sounds woven into the music is reminiscent of Gladkov's prose, how he waxes poetic about early Soviet industrialisation. It's a superficial observation, I grant you; I'm not trying to insinuate that Fly Pan Am is Socialist-Realist (it ain't).

It's a real shame this had to stop. Their music was evolving through every album more and more. I hope to hear something in the near future regarding these guys.It could happen. At least there's a better chance of them getting back together than GY!BE haha.
