Insights from Jarvis Cocker

Speaking about the show in a press release, Cocker mentioned: “You deserve more – and we have more.” He added: “In fact, we have even more – but that’s a completely different story… You’ll need to wait a little longer to hear this. In the meantime: see you this summer!”

The band reunited in 2023 for their first shows since 2012, performing various new songs such as “Farm Market,” “Spike Island,” “My Sex,” “You Should Have Love,” “Background Noise,” and “Sunset.”

In the past summer, it was reported that Pulp had “returned to the studio” after their frontman was spotted in Walthamstow, London, carrying an orange trade bag and waving at a camera.

In December, news emerged that the band inked a new deal with Rough Trade amid rumors of a potential album set for release in 2025.

Pulp’s seventh and final studio album, “We Love Life,” was released in 2001 through Island Records. They released “After You,” their first single in over a decade, via Rough Trade in 2012 during their first reunion, with the track produced by James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem.

In conversations with NME last year, Cocker hinted that the “Sunset” track, written by Richard Hawley, could eventually be officially released. “Richard gave me a record when he played chords for a long time,” he reminisced. “I wrote a few words for this.”

Last month, Pulp’s guitarist Mark Webber addressed the rumors regarding the new album. “At some point we’ll have to decide what to do with these new songs,” he stated. “At the moment, it’s still up in the air.”

In terms of what lies ahead for the band, Webber reflected: “I do not know. We have confirmed shows, and I think it’s likely we’ll continue creating.”

He also shared his thoughts on presenting new material in a live setting: “People seem excited that we have several new songs. When you play a new song, you need an audience to digest it—not that they’ll necessarily go wild right away.

“It felt great, and we’re eager to do more. No matter how the songs are, it can become repetitive to play the same stuff over and over again.”

In October 2023, drummer Nick Banks spoke about the prospects of a new Pulp album, noting that their reunion concerts were “more about the return of the party.”

“I’m not sure any of us has a genuine appetite for this since it requires a commitment of three to five years of your life,” he told NME. “From writing to recording and then touring, it would be incredibly challenging. I don’t envision that for us—we’ve got other things going on.”
