The Moving Frontier is an album by Pram, released in 2007.[3][4]

Critical reception

[edit]

AllMusic wrote that "exotica, '60s and '70s electronic novelty pop, and noir-ish jazz are still major influences on Pram's music, and on their instrumentals they mimic and modernize those sounds like few other bands can."[2] NME deemed the album "45 minutes of bland, jazzy, nonsense."[5] Clash thought that Pram had become "immersed in overtly odd, bloated high-art plodding."[6]
