  1. 8.0 |   All Music

    Fly Pan Am's Frontera score is some of their most trance-inducing work, harnessing the power of repetition while retaining a crucial element of surprise

  2. 8.0 |   musicOMH

    Shining a searchlight on new terrains for themselves, Fly Pan Am have generously quenched our insatiable appetite for revealing non linear melodramas

  3. 8.0 |   The Quietus

    Even on Frontera’s quieter, less rigid movements an ominous presence lurks, from acousmatic dirges to synths which sound more dental than musical.

  4. 7.0 |   Uncut

    In ways it conforms to the template of Canadian post-rock - extended instrumentals characterised by gradual builds and ecstatic climaxes. Print edition only

  5. 7.0 |   Exclaim

  6. 6.6 |   Beats Per Minute

    Overall, Frontera retains the qualities that fans of Fly Pan Am always appreciated about the collective, but this time around they feel disconnected. That is not to say the album is bad, it simply appears that it cannot be properly appreciated without the aid of the dance performance by Animals Of Distinction
