Pulp Announces First Album in 24 Years, 'More'

Pulp, the iconic Britpop band led by Jarvis Cocker, has announced their first album in 24 years, titled 'More', set to release on June 6, 2025. The album, inspired by their 2023 reunion tour where they debuted the song 'Hymn of the North', sparked a creative surge leading to new material. Cocker dedicated the album to their late bassist Steve Mackey and clarified that no AI was used in its creation. The first single, 'Spike Island', reflects on the Stone Roses' 1990 concert and blends indie pop with reflective lyrics. Produced by James Ford and recorded in three weeks at Orbb Studio in Walthamstow, London, the album showcases the band's expanded lineup of nine members as they innovate while honoring their Britpop roots. Pulp will embark on a UK tour in June 2025, featuring two sold-out shows at the O2 in London.
