Pram (band)
Pram are a British post-rock band formed in Birmingham, England in 1988 by Rosie Cuckston (vocals, keyboards), Matt Eaton (guitar), Andy Weir (drums), and Samantha Owen (bass).[1] Subsequent lineups have changed frequently, most notably with Cuckston's departure in 2008.[1] Their electronic pop sound, described by AllMusic as "equally quaint and unsettling,"[1] employs unconventional instruments and draws on stylistic influences such as krautrock, exotica, and dub.[5]
