Confirmed by Studio Orbb on a comment on an instagram post from @stellacreasy- also they reposted the original photo on their instagram story. Im pumped up!

Sounds good to me. I don't think that an album is completely out of the question. They have performed 3 great "new" songs in the past year and have had ample time to write more.

"A Sunset" reminds me of "Bob Lind" but without all the strange jangly stuff going on. As a full band effort, with some strings added in, it could be a classic. "Background Noise" is pure "Intro"/"His n Hers" and "Hymn of the North" sounds like a great final song from an album.

I know that "Cuckoo" and "After You" have been mentioned as possible candidates for a new album. I think that they are done with "After You" but there's every possibility that it could be re-recorded and "Cuckoo" proves that at least one of the many demos from 1999-2001 is still on Jarvis' radar.

We'll see.

Oh, Wow, you've made my day!

Well - Jarvis absolutely woke the internet yesterday with his revelation that he was "Back in the studio".

Was this with the rest of the band? Who knows? What I do know is that there indeed was other members of Pulp within the vacinity. Obviously the studio itself confirmed that Jarvis was indeed "there". Now if we have a look back to 2011 when they did their previous reunion tour - they hired out a studio for rehersals of which we saw video footage on Pulps website, along with later on some photos appearing of the decor and style of the place. Fast forward to 2024, and there is a studio thats in use - however, there is one big twist. Why would Pulp need a studio for rehearsals whilst they are already on tour? Makes no sense?

The excellent Elysian Quartet have posted photos on their Instagram within the studio of themselves - no sign of any official Pulp members though - just Emma. Looking further into their Instagram, there is an interesting photo from within Church Studios - " Back in a studio today recording some more secret tracks " along with various people being tagged within the post, along with a certain Anne Dudley (who worked on Different Class and Hardcore)...... This was posted 8 weeks ago.

We have heard in recent memory a few new songs. A Sunset, Background Noise, Cuckoo (just Jarvis on that Bird album release thingy) and After You during the previous tour. These songs, along with demos which got axed during the We Love Life sessions, and any potential NEW SONGS - could more than easily have been recorded and going through the finishing touches as we speak.

Pulp members have always been known to tease, or not be fully truthful when asked questions about the future - however with everything that has happened recently..... your try to NOT CONVINCE ME that there is a new album on the way......

Just imagine...... Pulp - Swansong - 23 years in the making...............the final voyage. The album being a tribute to Steve Mackey. A very fitting end to Pulp's recording career.

This is just what I can picture happening. I dont have any information thats not in public domain, however - I think it is more likely than ever that Pulp are in the process of making an album.

Weirdly, I thought the Insta photo of Emma (and Richard? Is that his name - Elysian's leader) in a studio was a separate thing so when Jarvis was quoted as "we" being back in the studio, it ruled out it being a Jarv Is... thing and more likely Pulp. Not to say that Emma won't be involved.

Anyway, fingers are very much-crossed. I wonder can we get anything out of Mark if he does book signings in October.
