Jarvis solo album 2008

NME announced this morning that Jarvis plans to release a new solo album this year.

http://www.nme.com/news/jarvis-cocker/36075

Any thoughts?

yeah, there's a way to go from two songs to an album.  plus, "i'd like" to get an album done in 2008 isn't much of a commitment.  (unless he pads it with jarvis renditions of charlotte gainsbourg songs that he's already written a la the debut.)  which might be good actually.

Maybe he'll rescue After You?

"I've got vague ideas," he said of the forthcoming LP. "I'd like to do another [album] before the end of the year."

It'll be interesting to read the interview & see if he actually mentions 'solo', of if it's just NME assuming. "Ex-Pulp man reveals new song details", they say. When Pulp never officially split.
Didn't Jarvis say he didn't do a Pulp record last time "so as not to inconvenience the other members of Pulp"? Steve & Candida's presence at so many concerts & TV appearences last time out might suggest that they wouldn't mind at all.

(What, it's supposed to be coincidence that the best single Pulp never released suddendly comes to light two days before an album announcement? & Girls Like It Too sounds far more Pulp than anything on the previous record too...)

nah, its just coincidences.

It'll be a solo album and i doubt Jarvis would make such an announcement with only two songs written.

After reading about Jarvis's new song about sex..again.
 
I'm just really worried that he is going to get written off as a dirty old middle age man. Which he isn't of course.

But other people don't know that.

I don't think he'll mind. His hero Serge Gainsbourg was named a dirty old middle aged man too.

 Thinking back to the turn around between the announcement and the release of the first solo album, i'm thinking that it could well be here for christmas.

The amsud tour wasnt there just for fun. It was to try out a new song, and start the machine. Id say a new album will be out before fall.

Well, if there's an album, there's bound to be extensive touring.
Assuming he's gonna break eventually, what do we reckon is the most likely Pulp song to be played first?
My bet's on I Want You.

Has anyone seen the interview in the NME yet or is it just a brief 'News Feature'. It's exactly two years I think since he gave his first interview to them since Pulp finished. He's always self-conscious about boring the arse off people over how the writing and recording of new material is going but I imagine he's written the bulk of an album's worth by now. Wonder if the 'VHS and Betamax' song he mentioned in an interview last May will surface...

He seems to unwittingly manage to release an album at the worse time for sales - at the arse-end of the year between Halloween and Christmas (like We Love Life and Jarvis before it), and I think this is when we're likely to get it again. It will be interesting to see if Hawley is involved at all. Might be worth asking him over on his forum...

Given that Jarvis has (frustratingly) tried so hard in recent years to move away from Pulp material, I'm pretty sure It'd have to be something pre-DC at the very least.
I'd be less surprised to hear Blue Girls than Something Changed.

Speaking of, did anyone find out if Something Changed & Sink Or Swim are the same song?

It was When you Cry I Cry, not Something Changed. And, no, we never established whether it's the same song or not because no one on earth seems to have a copy of said song!

GAH!

I had a dream last night that Jarvis' new album (with a long and confusing title) was rush released this week, without any press build-up.  Woke up expecting to see the reviews this morning.

Sink or Swim...I've never heard of it to be honest but if that was an alternative song name then surely the song would be Duck Diving?

:)

'Sink Or Swim' was 'It' era.
Having said that, the words from Duck Diving Jarvis read whilst at school...so there's absolutely no reason why not!
You might be right. (:

I know Jarvis doesn't like to 'bore us with the details' as it were, but it'd be nice if he'd do a little Q&A for us every couple of years!

Nope, totally different song.

Blimey, have you actually heard it?

BTW congrats, just seen your bands rather positive review on Planet Sound!

Wayne Furniss played me his copy about 11 years ago, which is where the description in my book comes from. It's pleasant enough, nothing to write home about - sort of the Street Operator or You Are the One of the It era.

Thanks, shame we've split up since the demo was recorded really!
