Rarely Heard: Pram - The Owl Service


PRAM “The Owl Service” (2000) von domino

I came across the English band Pram by accident and I've remained a great fan ever since. Formed in Birmingham, England, in 1990, the band "brought a distinctly childlike world-view to their uniquely cinematic brand of fractured electro-pop; unlike the cutesy, baby-doll mentality that informed the work of many of their more whimsical contemporaries, however, the group's vision of childhood was decidedly nightmarish, evoking a hallucinatory world of helplessness and fear." (Allmusic.com) My favourite album, arguably their best is The Museum of Imaginary Animal, and The Owl Service is the first song of that album.
