Pulp announces a new album titled More (Rough Trade) their first in almost twenty-four years which will be released on June 6^th, 2025. The album was recorded and mixed at Orbb Studio in East London.  Limited editions of the album will be available on vinyl. Along with a double LP cut at 45 rpm, which will be exclusive to Pulp’s online shop and Rough Trade Records’ webstore, there will also be four single-disc color vinyl pressings that have been both handpicked and named by Jarvis Cocker personally. 

Alongside the black LP there will also be a “Theresa” green LP available across all retail, a “Blue Sky Thinking” Marble LP, exclusive to independent record stores, a “South Yorkshire Sunset” Marble LP available only from shops in Sheffield and “Isha Kriya”, an ink spot design, available exclusively from Pulp and Rough Trade Records’ online shops.

Pulp are marking their return with the anthemic earworm ‘Spike Island’. A combination of synths, violin and slide guitar, amplified by producer James Ford (Arctic Monkeys, Fontaines DC) who also produced the album. Lyrically the idea for ‘Spike Island’ came from Jason Buckle (Relaxed Muscle) who co-wrote the song and went to Stone Roses’ infamous Spike Island gig. A DJ there shouted, “Spike Island, come alive!” all day, getting on everybody’s nerves. That stuck in Jarvis Cocker’s mind, inspiring him to write a second song about Spike Island despite not going to the gig.
