	Pram (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pram are a band formed in Birmingham, England in 1990.
		In 1995 Pram left Too Pure, and released a cassette compilation of early demos and live recordings, Perambulations - some of these recordings were added to the CD reissue of Gash.
		The most recent release by the band is Dark Island (2003), but the band is rumoured to be back in the studio working on a new album.

	PRAM Dark Island
		Beauty is by no means a goal for the Birmingham band, but it accounts for a lot in the longevity of their unlikely pop and its influence on a string of other formations that have emerged from the city in the last decade.
		Often associated with Stereolab, Pram may not be as familiar a name to the general public, but have, in the course of six albums and a multitude of Eps, created a more groundbreaking and convincing work altogether.
		Pram retain enough familiar elements to keep their audience satisfied, but, by challenging the structures they have relied on for years and allowing more space for them to develop, the band reaches a new stage in their career.

	Flak Magazine: Pram's Dark Island, 03.12.03
		Even though the band has never busted onto CMJ's flawed college radio playlists, Pram is one of those rare, instantly recognizable acts: If you've heard and liked any of its records, you need only hear about a 10-second snippet of any of its other work to name the artist.
		What's more, Pram is one of the few rock bands that can boast a member who actually plays the theremin, as opposed to cluelessly waving his hands around to create kee-razy sounds for the kids.
		Pram will never have a gold record, be criticized for leading our youth astray, have a hit song in a major motion picture, appear in a fun VW advertisement or even be nominated for the Shortlist Award.

	TEN4 Magazine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		They're too modest to admit it, but Pram are one of those typically inventive bands who've helped modern British music remain creative and vital.
		Pram agree that proactive behaviour is the key to a healthy music scene, and they're no exception.
		As Birmingham residents Pram have remixed, produced and engineered many Midlands bands, and the camaraderie is healthy enough for everyone to get along.

	Pram interview 1997
		It seems that whilst the members of the band have similar musical tastes, each brings their own special musical styles - Max with his interest in easy listening and sound tracks, Matthew with his love of ska and reggae to name just a couple.
		Broadcast, Plone, Avrocar have all supported Pram in the past as have Snowpony and recently Add N to X. Max and Matthew were heavily involved in Klub Catusi, Birmingham's cult easy listening club.
		The band ask for more details, but, modest as ever, just in case they can borrow a little floor space to sleep on the next time they are over there.

	Pram: The Museum of Imaginary Animals: Pitchfork Record Review
		Pram courts the actively uncanny with a delicate balance of childlike irreverence and apprehension.
		But what distinguishes the two is that Pram continues to showcase the foggy insular quality of their work while Broadcast has buffed its approach to a glossily synthetic sheen.
		Pram remains caught up in a loosely crafted fairy tale of its own making, a musical Brother's Grimm hell-bent on examining the puzzlebox of a child's dark imagination.

		One of the truly weird bands this side of Meco have returned, and in so doing have graced us with their strongest album to date.
		When they first appeared on the scene in the early 1990s, they were lumped together with other bands on their label, Too Pure.
		Though this comment has long been deemed irrelevant, Pram stand firm in their oddness, and in so doing, have hit a new peak of aural bliss.

	Metroactive Music \| Pram
		The band often employs toy instruments--and those that sound like toys--to fashion its warped, slightly sinister dreamscapes, giving some of its songs the quality of half-repressed memories.
		Though Pram's dominant attitude is one of shadowy magic and creepy whimsy, the band isn't afraid to employ wholly unexpected, incongruous ingredients like jazz, funk and even hip-hop in its compositions, which is part of what makes the record rich and enthralling instead of simply twee.
		The Theremin, overused on previous Pram records, is deployed gorgeously on the wordless "Narwhal," its spooky hum sounding almost human.

	TrouserPress.com :: Pram
		Firm believers in pure DIY aesthetics, Birmingham's Pram fabricated a thoroughly original, if not universally palatable, sound based on a framework of homemade theremin and assorted electronic widgets, topped off with the ominous little-girl-lost vocals of Rosie Cuckston.
		On the group's earliest records, Pram's bare-bones electro-drone brings back fond memories of vanguard '60s noisemakers — like Silver Apples and Fifty Foot Hose — who jerry-rigged gizmos that made watching the itinerary get laid out as much fun as actually taking the trip.
		Pram grew up (and how!) during the making of the full-length The Stars Are So Big, the Earth Is So Small...Stay as You Are.

	Merge Records
		PRAM got its start in 1990 after a chance meeting between Rosie Cuckston and Sam Owen at a local supermarket’s “Single’s Night”.
		Their 1992 debut EP Gash, was a bare bones effort featuring only Rosie’s soaring vocals paired with the sci-fi whirl of a homemade theramin.
		Throughout their 13 year existence Pram have managed to keep their sound fresh and unique by combining eclectic musical ideas and instrumentation (theramin, zither, toy piano, glass hammer, glockenspiel, and the infamous hawaiian bubble machine) with a wide range of influences and styles (pop, jazz, dub, hip hop, and rock).

		Pram take their time, twirling an idle finger around the inside of a glass of absinthe in preparation for the disasters life is concocting.
		The music of Pram is also a mixture of the childlike and the eery, with sometimes very odd and inventive instrumentation.
		I have heard a number of bands with mediocre 'untrained' vocalists which have not had too much of an influence on the overall sound, but with this band I feel the vocals take away from the overall sound.

		The Carling Academy seems to attract any band on their way through town, the NEC pulls in the big hitters like Britney and Elton and then there are the usual pubs attracting ACDC cover bands.
		The band formed in 1995 from an arts background - the Lippok brothers, asked by a gallery owner to record some music for their exhibition, got Kreidler-s Stefan Schneider in to perform bass duties, and the rest is post-rock history.
		The bands' art roots shine through when they describe how some of the music has come to fruition.

		The music this band makes is in the same league and ballpark as the music of Seam and June of '44, some would file it under "emo-core", but I can't stand that qualification.
		Pram have been around for so long and trying so hard, but almost nobody who hears them or sees them understands the beauty of Pram.
		This band is able to create a sense of futurism, a feeling of history, space and time with just simple musical instruments, some toy casio keyboards, a trumpet and a theremin.

		For some reason, I always affiliated the two bands and found Stereolab to be much more interesting and exciting with their creativity (although they seem to have lost that exciting direction since Emperor Tomato Ketchup).
		Then Broadcast came along, with a similar sound to Pram, and yet, Pram again, seemed to be the lesser of those two as well.
		Pram certainly have a good thing going for them, and maybe one day they can receive the attention that their peers have obviously hogged over the past decade or so.

		Pram, who've just released a new EP themselves, weigh in with an exclusive remix of "Carnival of Souls," this one being the eeriest (must be that theremin) yet.
		This year-old tune combines the band's usual funhouse-mirror-analog sound with reggae/dub percussion and guitar, with the primary effect of the remixing being an increased emphasis of the theremin.

		Pram twisted the old craft of progressive-rock to the point that it became a container for all sorts of odd structures.
		Pram are a band from Leeds (England) that rediscovered the glorious tradition of British progressive-rock adding the casual and rebellious posture of the punk generation.
		The gap between the singer and the band wides with Dirty Children, where the voice hardly sings whereas the band indulges in a loud, chaotic bacchanal.

	Freshout Media » The Brothers Dustveil (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		But a listen to the band’s recently released EP, “Sentimental Lies,” and it’s certainly apparent that the band are most likely big fans of a certain British band: Radiohead.
		Instead, they are separated from Radiohead by elements of accessibility and indie rock modesty (something Radiohead only hit, on occasion, early on) that comes from Leonov’s (whose taste accounts for 50% of the band’s sound, he says) influences, a grouping of mainly post-rock acts like Mogwai and Mum.
		But Dustveil’s biggest influence could be what the band had to do without; because the only decent drummer in the band’s area is much more interested in fl metal than he is in indie (or is it experimental?) rock, the band decided to just make substitutions which included electronic drums and flute.

		Some raw and uncooked demo versions of songs that later wound up on the first ep, plus an assortment of late '80s live tracks that are grating and rather hard to listen to.
		I've loved all the Pram I've come across--I love the odd sense of their strange pop sound conglomerations and their vocalist's sweet tilty lyrics, but this one just hasn't had much air time.
		Now Pram are utterly bizarre and off-kilter and their lead singer Rosie is off-beat, so I don't recommend this for everyone, but if you like really odd (in a Captain Beefheart-type way maybe?) stuff I highly recommend giving Pram a listen.

		One thing which stands out with Pram is the versitility of the musicians, with most of the members playing 2,3 or more instruments.
