Label GB

Prefab Sprout is an English pop band hailing from Witton Gilbert, County Durham. They achieved great success in the 1980s with seven of their albums reaching the UK Top 30.
Formed in [year], Prefab Sprout quickly gained popularity for their unique sound and catchy melodies. Led by singer-songwriter Paddy McAloon, the band's music seamlessly blends elements of pop, rock, and new wave.
With their infectious hooks and intelligent lyrics, Prefab Sprout became a staple of the British music scene. Their albums consistently garnered critical acclaim and commercial success, solidifying their status as one of the most influential bands of their time.

Swoon, Prefab Sprout's debut album shows the band and songwriter / singer Paddy McAloon in their purest state, before outside hands and Top 20 chart prospects streamlined their approach. Swoon is a highly original record, melding various styles into one unique vision, resulting in a sophisticated sound the band could claim as its own. It has been sited as a strange fusion of Aztec Camera and Steely Dan, which makes sense, but ultimately Swoon proves too complicated for simple comparisons. Too rough and angsty to sit alongside Sade; too melodic, and richly complex to fit with most new wave or "new pop" of the era, Swoon is pure, untainted Prefab Sprout.
