Playlist Help: Scritti Politti & Prefab Sprout
Helping readers craft the perfect playlist one song at a time
In last month’s mailbag, I had a reader write in with the following question:
I'm a fan of the twee-core pop of Scritti Politti and Prefab Sprout. Any suggestions for 80s contemporaries or any recent band you think compares?
When I started writing an answer, it got me thinking that I should start a new series where I help people make playlists based on a very specific vibe they are in need of. This is that series!

Hey Wesley,
When I first started building this playlist, I found that Scritti Politti and Prefab Sprout were often classed as “sophisti-pop” rather than “twee-core.” Nomenclature aside, I knew the vibe you were after. But rather than try to capture that vibe myself, I tapped my friend
to help out. Along with running the great newsletter On Repeat, Kevin is an expert in music of the 1980s. I knew he’d help take this playlist to the next level.Keep reading with a 7-day free trial
