Yep it sounds Jarv is + Elysian Collective not really Pulp, where is Candida ?

Unfortunately, i think Candida cant really play anymore. From the bits i've seen (the Spike Island from Jonathan Ross), looks like her problems have gotten worse, sadly. She can do simple synths or piano bits apparently, but not complicated ones. The Got to Have Love synths parts have also been really simplified compared to the demo, maybe that's the reason ? 

My bet is there wont be too much synths upfront in the mix on More.

There's tricks you can do.  I've seen both Edwin Collins and Dorian Cox play live after having had major strokes and having much less function.

I'd imagine someone like Jason Buckle is serving as a medium in the studio, and a lot of the live performance is done by triggering loops. 

It's brilliant that she is still involved and they are finding ways around it.

 I'm sure I've heard Candida say she does have to programme loops to manage. She seems pretty ecstatic about this album and tour in most of the pictures, so doesn't seem to be interfering with her enjoyment. Maybe being a pop star again takes you mind off the difficulty she must experience in everyday life.

Looks like it. Also, here keyboards are positionned differently now, so she leaves her hands down, and dont have to lift them. She press the odd key, but it looks like chords or complicated melodies are a thing of the past.

As a piano player and musician, it really saddens me, it must be so hard not to be able to play anymore.
