New Album called More out 6th June, first new Album in 24 years, new single Spike Island available now, its not bad.
I think the new song is poor tbh. Certainly by Pulp standards. No surprise though. Different era, different line up. He used to write songs about being a misfit, because that's what he was. Now he's a very wealthy 60 year old bloke, with multiple properties in Paris & London. If he'd written an acoustic melody about a gite in France, it would probably be a lot better. His & Hers and Different Class remain two of my favourite albums though. On another note - Stereolab's first album in 15 years announced this week. I have very high hopes!
Heard Spike Island twice on radio last couple of days. 1st time i heard it, i thought very much Bowie style wise. Not a Pulp fan. (Although not a band I followed tbf) But i do actually like this.
Just listened to it and it’s OK. I’d put it on par with things like Joyrider and Dogs are everywhere level. Decent album track but not a patch on the hits.
They're doing Project House in Leeds. Saw em at Trades Club a few years back and they were phenomenal. Probably in my top 10 bands.
Never quite got Pulp. Enjoyed their genesis in the early 80s when I was living my best student life in Sheffield but they always struck me as a bit of a novelty band once they broke through.
