: Release Notes: \/ , \/ ,
' '
,: Fly Pan Am have composed some of their most direct, visceral and :,
: immediately satisfying music for the acclaimed contemporary :
:' dance piece FRONTERA. Juxtaposing stern foreboding electronics ':
,: and minimalist motorik avant-rock, the Frontera studio album :,
: superbly captures the bristling, sculpted, intensely evocative :
:' live score that Fly Pan Am developed in close conception and ':
,: collaboration with Dana Gingras and her MontrΘal-based dance :,
: troupe Animals Of Distinction. :
:' ':
,: As the Frontera recordings demonstrate, this music also works :,
: powerfully and exceptionally well on its own: oscillating :
:' between tension and release; evoking open, anxious interzones ':
,: and closed, claustrophobic spaces; conveying an overarching :,
: landscape of forbidden access, foreclosed movement, and the :
:' unfathomable multiplicities of trauma and resilience that occur ':
,: under our dehumanising international apparatuses of :,
: inadmissibility and control. ôGrid/Wallö, ôFencesö and ôParkourö :
:' combine electronics and spartan four-piece avant-rock that set ':
,: bodies in alternately furtive and laboured motion. The pulsing :,
: synthetics and noise textures of the more overtly technetronic :
:' ôScannerö, ôScalingö, ôBody Pressureö and ôFrontierö pin bodies ':
,: down, whether hiding in corners, crawling for cover, or exposed :,
: to the searchlights. Field recordings contributed by David :
:' Bryant (Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Hiss Tracts, Set Fire To ':
,: Flames) comprise some of the raw material here too. :,
: :
:' The Frontera album tracks faithfully to the narrative of the ':
,: original work, where eight movements (featuring a company of 10 :,
: dancers) flow from controlled chaos and tensely choreographed :
:' kinetics to slow, wrenchingly austere set pieces. This ':
,: tremendous multi-media performance û framed by the stark and :,
: peerless lighting design of United Visual Artists û is a :
:' discerning and deeply affecting meditation on borders and ':
,: surveillance, resistance and separation, solidarity and :,
: cooperation; bodies blocked and restrained, monitored and :
:' pursued, hiding and escaping, yearning and overcoming. ':
,: :,
: After touring as the live band for the FRONTERA dance production :
:' into early 2020, the pandemic brought further performance dates ':
,: to an abrupt halt (along with Fly Pan AmÆs own scheduled UK/EU :,
: tours, in support of their terrific 2019 comeback album CÆest :
:' τa). But during an easing of lockdown restrictions in late ':
,: summer, the band was able to convene with ConstellationÆs go-to :,
: producer Radwan Moumneh at the storied Hotel2Tango in MontrΘal :
:' to put this soundtrack to tape. ':
,: :,
: Frontera is exquisitely packaged and showcases half a dozen :
:' striking full-colour photographs from the dance piece: the ':
,: deluxe 180gram vinyl edition is printed with UV matte varnished :,
: inks, including an artworked inner sleeve and 12öx36ö fold-out :
:' art insert with liner notes; the CD mini-gatefold jacket is ':
,: printed on premium Spectro artboard and includes a 6-panel art :,
: insert. :
:' ':
,: WeÆre thrilled to present the soundtrack recording for one of :,
: the most moving multi-media works we witnessed last year. Thanks :
:' for listening. ':
