I was lucky enough to be in the audience for Jonathan Ross last night. Im not sure how much Im allowed to say publicly (?) before it airs on Saturday night. I will mention though that Jarvis talked about Spike Island and how Jason wrote the music for it! He was behind the spike island, come alive phrase in the chorus as well. I had an incredible evening last night, cant quite believe it all happened tbh!
this week feels longer than the last 24 years. Just release the release !
anyone got a link for Slow Jam ? Dont think i have that one.

you can find it on youtube, Jarv is, not Pulp
ah thanx, all i had was "Slow Pulp" result on YT, whatever that band is . Could be interesting i gotta say. Not a straightforward song but the kind of intimist song Jarvis is used to write. Bit like Swanky Mode meet Am i missing something. But yeah, a bit odd since it sounds more like Jarv Is. Or was it Jarv Is that sounded like Pulp ?

Ooh, listen to that throbbing bass from Spike Island on the clip in Jarv's Instagram post. And footage from the DC sleeve shoot! Just can't shake-off the Different Class anniversary talk!
the best thing is about Pulp the songs will sound unique and just as different but good in their own way compared to the live versions. I'll enjoy listening to both the live recordings in their premature form, and then in their polished studio versions

I wouldn't worry about saying stuff publically, there are always journalists in the audience selling snippets to media for the next day anyway
Thanks for the updates re the JR appearance. I'm liking the artwork. It's emotional now seeing just the 4 where there was 6 but lucky are we to still have those 4 and that they've chosen to make new music for the world again. Lots of love as always for them. Very excited to hear this.
I'll sort that out later this evening if no one else has - yes, I'm the guy that's been writing virtually all the news updates / creating new gig pages for the past two years.
Can we hope for a bonus rework of After You ? after all, they did play it a lot during the gigs. It flows well after Spike Island in its 2013 form though. Its even mixed at the same level, ommpfff

6 vinyl variants and counting. Jarvis must have enjoyed doing that for Jarv Is!
Descriptions from Bandcamp:
Single black LP
Double black LP cut at 45 rpm, exclusive to Pulp's online shop and Rough Trade Records' webstore

I'm pleased to see More has appeared in the Pulp Bandcamp, previously used for the Fire EP reissues... they must have gotten control of that account.
New biog pics, too. Bandcamp has a shot of the whole collective... and I notice other sites like Qobuz have a four shot: https://www.qobuz.com/gb-en/interpreter/pulp/51294
