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.
