See/Hear New Jarvis song, 'Angela'
Permalink  
 

Don't know how this slipped under the radar but Jarvis performed a new song, 'Angela',(any relation to De-bo-rah, Pau-la or Syl-vi-a I wonder) for the Beeb's The Culture Show on their Royal Academy Summer Exhibition this week.

You can watch it here http://www.bbc.co.uk/cultureshow/ but I can't because "this content is only available in the UK". Fantastic.
Anyway, enjoy.

Blimey. Sort of like Jarvis does Jet. But in a good way (if that's possible). No Russell-esque one-string guitar on this one!

Great song, really quite simple but catchy from the first listen. Does anyone think this could the opener to album number 2? :)

Thanks for the upload Pip.

It's certainly ballsy and more primal than most Jarvis/Pulp material. Sounds like something Nick Cave might write. Continuing in the same vein where 'Big Stuff' left off and I've a feeling that song was written later on than the rest of the first solo album and probably why it didn't make the album.

Interestingly, 'Girls Like It Too' is the best pop song Jarvis has written in years, whereas Angela is growlier, with a big riff but not much of a tune. He still seems to want to perfect the art of the intelligent pop song while also trying his at hand at writing brasher and less subtle songs aswell.

It will be intereresting to see how what shape the album will take.

I like it. It's definitely a little bit more rock'n'roll but in a brash and fun way, not a million miles from The Kinks really. Certainly fits in with the sixties vibe of Girls Like It Too.

BTW thanks for uploading it.  That was an agonising couple of days for those of us outside the UK.

Wow. That was pointless.
Guitars drowned in effects to the point that it sounds like American Dadrock in denial - kind of Nickleback trying to be 'hip'. Embarrassing. I thought Jarvis was in his 40s, not his 60s? If I hadn't heard Girls Like It Too, I'd think it was time he gave up, & maybe just did the odd festival gig with Pulp purely for nostalgia.

In his defence, it's his first song I really haven't liked since Pulp split.

I guess what must have happened is, as with a lot of people (myself included) you can often spend so much time polishing a turd you convince yourself it's good.
We've all done it.
But not on national TV.
I think Jarvis has just killed his new album before he's even made it.
Oh dear.














(It'll probably grow on me tho'...)

Not keen on this. Nice idea for a rocker, but as Eamonn said it seems devoid of any kind of real tune!

I've just checked and it's definitely there. You're doing something wrong.

Guess you'd better have a Rapidshare link then.
Here you go.

http://rapidshare.de/files/39744302/Jarvis_Cocker_-_Angela__live_at_Royal_Academy__London_.mp3.html

Unfortunately, I can't seem to get hyperlinks to work, so you'll have to cut & paste into your browser!

mmm, should Jarvis give it up?


As much as I have enjoyed hearing all the Pulp demos and the re-releases that have come on the scene in recent months/years, I have to say I care very little for Jarvis the solo artist.  I did come to like two or three of the solo tracks but overall, the best moments didn't match up to the lesser moments of Pulp (not that there are many, if any) from 1992 to 2002.

I'm quite prepared to give Jarvis another shot, but like numerous acts who have gone solo down the years, I suspect he will never match those albums nor those live shows.  Not sure I am too keen on a Pulp reunion for a festival, though pretty much everyone is doing it these days.  The Isle of Wight festival read like something from the late seventies with The Stranglers, Police & Sex Pistols all appearing.  http://www.telegraph.co.uk/arts/main.jhtml?xml=/arts/2008/06/16/bmpistols116.xml  And Glastonbury looks very poor this year http://www.bbc.co.uk/glastonbury/2008/lineup/ .

Don't want to see Pulp turning up along with these old fcukers for one last gasp of glory.

Not at all, Girls Like It Too is a fantastic song, possibly his best since TIH.

He needs some kind of quality control to stop him pumping out trash like Angela tho'. Jeez, if ever the world needed Russell!!
