PRAM

this is a good pram album

This is very good. Their best since museum of imaginary animals. Functions perfectly as background music or focused listening - little bit mars attacks in vibe. The new singer sounds eerily like Rosie too. Also a little like she was grafted from wicker man.

keyth - pram has soundtracked cartoons! but man they need a break, could totally imagine the old timey jazz song in a hollywood flick gun scene

jeff, can you confirm that sam sang at the show

did she sing older material as well

i find it hard to believe that is not rosie on this record, i know i know..but it is uncanny.

Ross - yes, she did. As I said on your albums poll thread I don't know their catalogue well, so I don't really know what older material was played. Here's a review I found in case it helps:

I have a favor to ask. If it should be announced somewhere that they are playing any US dates, could someone say something on this thread? I am way way out of the loop with knowing about that kind of thing and i would not want to miss it if they did.

Yes same here xpost

Hey Jeff thanks. Judging by that review they mostly played the. We one and the last, moving frontier (few tracks). Hope that changes but can’t blame them for moving forward

New one ***

i'd be surprised if they played the US unless something weird happened and this album got loads of attention. Their last planned tour about 10 years ago (maybe more) got cancelled. Things haven't gotten any easier either.

Yeah otm

They’re the definition of niche. Never achieved the success of broadcast or stereolab. Opened for pulp and played with phone, can’t imagine it rippled any waves

Plone

THere's a live set from Birmingham o the 20th of July circulating. Haven't listened to it yet. Am just listening to the new lp.

Where can it be heard

Dimeadozen

New pram is classic as fuck

Agreed

My man

Love your thoughts on it in the other thread

I don't know why I didn't listen to them much before, they are pretty much exactly my kind of thing

Big love ❤️

Picked the new album up on a whim a couple of weeks ago, just listening now and it's great. Sixties jazz/spy movie vibes, sounds great. Will need to work backwards, I have 'The Moving Frontier' but don't recall enjoying it anywhere near as much.

just get the 'iron lung' ep and 'the stars are so big...' 'imaginary animals' is alright, too!

And the meshes ep

Did it ever get mentioned that Rosie Cuckston stood as a Brexit Party candidate in the 2019 General Election?

...and lost badly (hurrah!)

She's in Reform UK now, so I wouldn't be surprised if she stood again in the upcoming GE.

there was definitely mention of her right-wing politics somewhere on her, no idea which thread

*here

years ago I happened to look at her Twitter to see if she'd made any comments about leaving Pram and was appalled by the political content, as somewhat chronicled in this thread

oh now i see it was in this thread in 2017, so long ago

Yes, but actually standing as a parliamentary candidate for the Brexit Party (ffs) wasn't.
