Thanks for the long poll time, Ross. i got lots of listening to do it seems. The only things I own by Pram are Helium and the new one and Somniloquy, which I assume you've categorised under EPs, you rockist ;-)

I need to do more digging into their catalog before voting, but the new one gives me something I've fantasized about for years, which is a post-rock album with Tom Waits' junkyard jazz sonics.

^ apt

Jeff - lol :)

museum. you're caught between me and the devil and the deep blue sea . . .

hell yeah..man that record feels so lovely and crystalline, play of the waves!

man the new record is moving up in my estimation vs. their entire career

like it has the creepy-bedroom evil eyed-girl vibe the earlier records did as well as the rinse of sargasso-museum

something for everyone really, probably the coolest record this year easily.

NME seem to hate this band, slamming both the moving frontier and their earlier work (at the time) but then..NME.

Buddy (long time pram fan) came by and we played the new one. He had to concede it was one of their best - my only minor gripe is I miss the vocally fronted up beat tracks like play of the waves or owl service

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

oof, turn out was slim

considered doing an EPs poll, but not sure it is worth it really
