about

It’s been a while, let's put on our dancing shoes. Just for fun.

Dance Danse is a reminder that F&M is still alive and kicking. Well, dancing to be precise. But, you know, like F&M dancing - some kind of melancholic shuffle with a few spastic bursts.

The first two songs were recorded in 2017 and were intended for the "Lessons from Losers" release. F&M's Rebecca and Ryan Anderson decided to hold onto them instead for release as follow-up singles.

The first track and single, "Extension of Silence," includes a special bilingual guest, and good friend, Ariane Mahryke Lemire. It's a song for those days when the dancing is only in your head. Track two, "Joyful Melancholy" is a nod to an older era of pomp and stately indifference. Leave your lonely soul and move that body to the drone—or Ryan may chop off your head.

The last track, "Dance Dance Dance," came about as a result of the pandemic when the world paused. Not a word was heard from long-time collaborator Bryan since the release of "Lessons From Losers." He had retreated into the woods of Kimberley, BC. The world went dark, and one day through the cold internet, a track and an invitation to sing came in. Nothing was left but for Ryan and Rebecca to take up the call.

F&M is currently working on a decidedly non-dance album. So dance while you can, while Rebecca and Ryan work on new ways to touch your soul.
