Caroline Polachek on Prefab Sprout

This is Unsung – a Crack Magazine podcast on Sonos Radio where
the world’s greatest artists reveal their heroes who never caught
the spotlight.


This episode we are joined by songwriter, producer and singer
Caroline Polachek whose music has taken many forms: from the
dramatic synth pop of Chairlift, to the brooding alter-ego of
Ramona Lisa, the ambient experimental sounds of CEP and more
recently, the atmospheric electro-pop under her own name.


Caroline’s Unsung choice is the 1980s British pop band, Prefab
Sprout. While they built a loyal following in their era, the band
were impossible to classify and often get overlooked in the
history books. Caroline speaks to journalist and broadcaster Chal
Ravens about the lasting impact this band have had on her life
and approach to making music.
