Pram

Experimental pop band Pram bring their beautifully constructed and tautly produced sound world to The Louisiana this December.

Across the Meridian, the band’s first album since 2007’s The Moving Frontier, was released in 2018, and mixes instrumentals and songs, weaving a gleeful path through the musical territory of film scores, 30s jazz, sun-drenched pop, electronica, and post-punk experimentation. Haunting and wistful vocals are set to a variety of soundscapes, sometimes appearing as a snatched fragment of the subconscious and dreamlike, at others crafting a story of longing or regret, drawing the listener into Pram’s uncanny world through the mirror.

Newcomers to Pram will find a richly detailed collage of influences ranging from exotica, Krautrock and the forgotten film soundtracks that went on to inspire contemporaries Stereolab & Broadcast.

Age: 16+ (Under 18s to be accompanied by an adult)
