Pulp's brand new album More will be released on June 6 and can be pre-ordered now. Get More
The album is preceded by the new single Spike Island, which has just been released. You can watch the Jarvis Cocker-directed video now.
More is Pulp's first record since We Love Life in 2001. Yes, the first Pulp album in almost 24 years. So how did that happen? Allow Jarvis to explain:
"Well, when we started touring again in 2023 we practiced a new song called Hymn Of The North during soundchecks & eventually played it at the end of our second night at Sheffield Arena This seemed to open the floodgates. We came up with the rest of the songs on this album during the first half of 2024. A couple are revivals of ideas from last century. The music for one song was written by Richard Hawley. The music for another was written by Jason Buckle. The Eno family sing backing vocals on a song. There are string arrangements written by Richard Jones & played by the Elysian Collective. The album was recorded over 3 weeks by James Ford in Walthamstow, London, last November. This is the shortest amount of time a Pulp album has ever taken to record.
It was obviously ready to happen.
These are the facts.
We hope you enjoy the music. It was written & performed by four human beings from the North of England, aided & abetted by five other human beings from various locations in the British Isles. No A.I. was involved during the process. This album is dedicated to Steve Mackey. This is the best that we can do. Thanks for listening.”
There are a few limited-edition vinyl versions of More available. A double LP cut at 45 rpm and single disc ink spot pattern design named "Isha Kriya" by Jarvis are only on sale from our webstore and can be pre-ordered now.
Plus, only for the next 48 hours, members of the Pulp mailing list can reserve an extremely limited, individually numbered edition of More. Boasting specially stamped black vinyl, it comes with a 12-inch art-print, exclusive sticker and an embossed sleeve.
