Pulp’s brand new album More will be released on June 6, 2025. Rough Trade Records will handle the release. This comes twenty-four years after their last LP. Meanwhile, a self-reflective new synth-based single, ‘Spike Island’, has been released. Watch the AI-created music video below. Front man Jarvis Cocker explained on Instagram:
“This is the first Pulp album since We Love Life in 2001. Yes: the first Pulp album for almost 24 years. How did that happen?
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 three weeks by James Ford in Walthamstow, London, starting on November 18th, 2024. This is the shortest amount of time a Pulp album has ever taken to record in the modern era. 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.”
More features eleven newly recorded Pulp songs: Spike Island, Tina, Grown Ups, Slow Jam, Farmers Market, My Sex, Got to Have Love, Background Noise, Partial Eclipse, Hymn of the North, A Sunset.
The album will be available on LP, CD, and cassette, as well as several limited edition vinyl formats, some of which are exclusive to the Pulp and Rough Trade websites.
“Pulp love giving you more.” is their new tagline.
