To be fair, "Love At 120bpm" sounds like a Jarvis title. Like a final version of Slow Jam/Bad Friday. Apart from the Jason Buckle song, there's no mention of using Jarv Is... material in the press release.
Mark said in his long interview though that some of the new songs they were rehearsing were unfinished Jarv Is pieces
Well, that's assuming that the three weeks it took to make it were consecutive...
Also - "the shortest amount of time a Pulp album has ever taken to record"? What about Freaks, eh?!
That was my initial reaction. Unless they are referring to the "modern" Pulp (Russell and Steve notwithstanding).
I think a 12 track album is possible considering that some of the songs are recycled oldies. It's true that albums seem to be shorter nowadays but Pulp clearly have a lot of source material so it could be longer.
The Divine Comedy have announced an album due for release in September and it sounds like it's going to be a dark one.
I remember when JARV IS ... started up - someone on here looked them up on a website where artists registered song titles for copyright etc reasons. I can't remember it now but essentially it had the songs from the album listed under the band name.
Can anyone remember what the hell I'm talking about and if so, is there anything new under Pulp?
Oh yeah, good point. Was it ASCAP? Just had a quick scan on there and there are a couple of possibilities, although anything with an unfamiliar title also had Steve credited.
Probably a red herring, but the BMI Songview database has the following unfamiliar titles:
Algo Cambio (Cocker/Banks/Doyle/Mackey/Senior/Webber)
Died (Cocker/Banks/Doyle/Mackey/Webber)
Get Up (Steve Mackey / William George Sinclair)
It Stinks (Cocker / Mackey)
Please (Cocker/Banks/Doyle/Mackey/Webber)
Time (Cocker/Banks/Doyle/Mackey/Senior)
You Are the Only One (Cocker/Banks/Doyle/Mackey/Webber) (seems to be a different song from You Are The One, which is listed separately)
Most likely is that these are all working titles for other things, but who knows...

Algo Cambió means "Something Changed" in Spanish. Its just a cover version by a band called Astrud that was probably shared around these parts back in the day.
I did think "It Stinks" was an early draft of Trumps Are Still Running The World.
I'm checking the site, the linktree, the social media, the pulpofficial.co.uk... every few minutes. Still nothing new. I'll probably post it here if something happens. BTW, i wonder why there's a trumpet on the pulp more logo
Its true but only available on the mobile version. To access it create an account then reduce the brower to minimum like a smartphone format and the music appear. After that you can Make the Browser Great AGAIN. (well its now on desktop also !)
Someone is gonna get yelled at
Didnt see any extra tracks
I can post screen grabs if you want ?
