Simple question. What do you think?

If they were going to go down the route of resurrecting older songs, I have just put together a list of possible candidates:


  • Darren
  • Quiet Revolution
  • Cuckoo Song
  • Got to Have Love
  • M'Lady
  • Grandfather's Nursery
  • The Performance of a Lifetime
  • St Just
  • Love You Baby (instrumental)
  • Six String (instrumental)
  • Last Song In The World (instrumental)
  • Medieval Owl (instrumental)
  • Dream Galaxy (instrumental)
  • Another song was attempted alongside "Last Day of the Miners Strike" but not finished
  • Hymn of the North
  • Background Noise
  • A Sunset
  • Proceed to the Route
  • Locked Down
  • Slow Jam
  • Chilled Ibiza


Back in the day, that would have been enough for an album and 4 singles with B-sides.

I'm hoping for yes.

I'm really hoping they bring the string section along and the whole live band setup and just put out one final, beautiful record - then they can tour a bit more and call it a day.

I'd feel very fulfilled as a fan if that was how they ended it. We're very lucky to be getting what we're getting now as I thought it was over for good in 2012, but a nice latter-day record with all the bells and whistles would just cap things off wonderfully.

On a side-note, the Elysian Collective put an eye emoji on the instagram post mentioned above. The studio itself wrote 'Confirmed' as well. I'm getting very excited now.

 

On another side note, it could be a way as shown above to resurrect some of the WLL stuff that never came out on a deluxe edition. One can dream, right?

Quiet Revolution seems quite a likely candidate for rerecording methinks, especially if not Cuckoo on account of the spoken word thingymbob

I think that the best we can hope for is a brand new album released as a standard and deluxe version, the latter containing the lost 1999-2001 material.

Voted yes because I really want it to happen :) I would so love to hear Hymn of the North recorded with that string section.

 I dont think they will and I dont think I want them to.  Apart from suede, I cant think of any other band that has a gap of a decade and made a decent comeback LP.   I would rather pulp not disappoint me.

An EP along the lines of Sisters would give fans something substantial whilst not threatening the integrity of the canon

A bit precious innit?! The integrity of the canon has been threatened since Freaks came out in 1987 wink

 

Seriously though, they either think their new songs are good or they don't. If it's an EP rather than an album, it would be more down to not wanting to spend months/years in a studio rather than not believing in the material.

talk of the canon is a bit rich when it contains songs with titles like My Erection. I just meant that an album is a statement and so far there have been no bad ones. On the other hand, since there are no bad ones why would they start now?

I wonder if the possibility of reviving old demos from 2000 - as well as reducing the number of new songs to come up with would also be influenced by Steve's absence now and his presence then. He'd be credited on a new Pulp record for his basslines and co-writes on the original songs. And I can imagine he'd be listed as a band member in the liner notes with the album a tribute to him.

I would be happy if this theoretical Pulp album had a number of newly official members of Pulp on it. It wouldn't be the first lineup change, and they (we know who) have a great deal to contribute after all.

I would be a bit disappointed if the album were full of songs written a quarter of a century ago, I know tidying up loose ends etc., but it would be better to have a feeling of where they are now, not where they were then.

Agreed. To be greedy, I'd like 10-12 all brand new songs and finally a WLL deluxe at some stage of our lives.

But there's no denying that Jarvis does have form for reviving that 99/00 era in recent times both in the studio and live - see After You and Cuckoo.

And I can't see the appetite within Mark and Candida to help write and rehearse 20 or 30 new songs before whittling them down. It would take years and I don't think they'd be arsed.

Jarv Is... + Pulp both in terms of personnel and material is the only way we get a brand new Pulp album in my opinion.

Same as ArrGee, I feel trepidations about any new recordings. I fear that theyre not going to hold a candle to their old records though I know that possibly those songs just mean so much to me, at this point, that nothings going to match them.

But I am curious and interested in what they do next... and Ill support anything and everything they care to do. It's certainly exciting.

I don't get why it's considered such a bad thing when a band's reunion album is merely "OK"

Its rare that any act makes an OK LP after a decade or more away.  Normally they are simply poor.  Only acts I can think of making good comebacks are suede and Bowie (The Next Day), and to their credit both subsequently made better LPs.  Merely OK is not good enough.

I didn't think either of those comebacks were anything special (a solid three stars/6 outta 10s). So much so that when Bowie brought out Lazarus ahead of Blackstar, it took me a few weeks to bother with it cos I'd been a bit non-plussed by The Next Day. The best song on it imo was a bonus track called Heat - which sounds like a Scott Walker homage ("The Electrician" vibes).

Although I do remember listening to the Blackstar album the weekend it came out and the day before he died.

But I'd have confidence Pulp could pull it off based on the new songs they've performed since last year and also the strength of the WLL and Jarv Is... unreleased material if they go down that road.

Which begs the question has any act made a good album after a decade or so away?  Or even an album as good as anything else they did before.

I was impressed by Suede's return and wasn't disappointed by their subsequent 3 albums. Blur's first return album didn't match my expectations but weren't bad. If Pulp's was anything less than great, I'd be disappointed; but just because I hold them in such high regard.

Theres no way Pulp would be making an album if Jarvis wasnt feeling it or if the material wasnt worthy of coming from Pulp

Speaking from the artists I love: Slowdive, My Bloody Valentine, Failure, Primus, Faith No More.

Slowdive especially - their first reunion album holds a special place as one of my favourite records of all time.

It can be done. Not that I'm expecting some kind of magnum opus from Pulp at this stage, but with the factors at play, as well as the added band members from the string section, there's scope for a really touching farewell album that would just tie things up nicely.
