\u201cExpress\u201d appears in S1 E6 of Ryan Murphy\u2019s LOVE STORY, the new FX\/Hulu hit series about John F. Kennedy, Jr. & Carolyn Bessette Kennedy\u2019s romance. Scene: Carolyn and her sister get ready for her wedding day. \u201cExpress,\u201d from AREA\u2019s 1990 FRAGMENTS OF THE MORNING, blends Lynn Canfield\u2019s melodic female vocal layers with keyboard driven rhythms and powerful guitar hooks to create blissful pop textures. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


On their 4th (and final) album, Area was Lynn Canfield voice and Steve Jones instruments & incidentals
\n

Between 1985 and 1990, Champaign-Urbana, Ill-based Area created simple, blissful pop with a distinctly Midwestern feel \u2014 soft, ethereal female vocals laid on subtle electronics and guitars.
\n

SOUNDS U.K. wrote: “Poised and graceful, [vocalist Lynn Canfield] floats on silver wings over a candid dreamscape of music, aching for perfect love. . . . eerily compelling, a dark netherworld of exploration which unfolds with mystery and complexity.”
\n

Amazon review by D.C. Harold: “Spellbindingly evocative. Where many songs about love generalize to the point of bland universality, Area’s songs are as intimate and specific as a page from someone else’s diary. Essential for anyone really interested in the secret workings of the heart.”

Originally released in 1990 on C’est La Mort Records. Reissued in 2000 on Projekt: Archive.<\/p>\n
