It may be nothing but the previously official site - pulppeople.com has been updated.

It mentions a comeback album.

Hi Ste.

Welcome back to us all losing our collective shit.

The Pulp People website looks really strange, almost like it's on the default setting of a simple website making platform like Wordpress. Looks phony. Like Sturdy said, somebody might've bought that domain.

For the moment I'm guessing that it's related to a reissue of This Is Hardcore. His 'N' Hers had that 25th anniversary version - maybe it's like that? Obviously I want a Pulp reunion too but I'm hesitant to get my hopes up...

Probably not relevant but, I think last year, Chilly Gonzales casually mentioned in a podcast (can't remember which) that Jarvis was working on a second Jarv Is... album. Doubt it has anything to do with Jarvis's post since it's very Pulp-ish though.

Good lord, I didn't expect anything like this - consider me cautiously optimistic.

Also it's absolutely insane to think that it's been 10 years since the reunion ended already. I was hoping they'd have struck while the iron was hot last time in terms of new music, but they still seemed hungry and vital, so it'd be good to see where things stand 10 years on.

A domain history request for pulppeople.com seems to suggest that it was allowed to expire in 2018 and then purchased again back in 2019. There's been a few DNS changes to it since then, the last in February which co-incides with this new site popping up.

It is Wordpress - and the copy is very placeholder/SEO stuff. What intrigues me though is that I can't see them letting go the domain. I know Jarvis ended up swapping domains a few times but you'd think they'd keep hold of it just in case. Though, as a web developer (yes, a lazy one, perhaps) if I was setting something up to 'go again' in WordPress then this is the sort of thing I'd do as a 'holding site' before going live. I do suspect it's most likely to be a spam site though.

It's hard to guess, I suspect we won't have to wait long (maybe tomorrow) to find out. If I was betting I'd say some kind album from the last few live shows. Jarvis's output has been such a lot compared to previous periods, I just can't see anything like a new album or any substantial live tour - Jarv Is has felt very much 'the thing' now.

Going on the other thread - it's interesting the Steve hasn't posted it, or even acknowledged it....

For purely selfish reasons (having two young kids) I hope it's not just a gig in London as I don't think I'd make it - it's hard to get down there for me whilst being a responsible parent.

I've done some more digging.....

So it looked like the pulppeople.com domain had expired and maybe been bought and squatted on in 2018...

However, looking at the Facebook account - www.facebook.com/pulppeople - they made an update in 2020 to put the website address on the page - which would suggest they are still in control of it.....
