Pulp: New Album "More" Launching June 2025
Pulp is set to release their highly anticipated studio album, More, on June 13, 2025, marking their first collection of new material in nearly 24 years. The 11-track album, produced by James Ford, was recorded over a swift three-week period in Walthamstow, London, beginning on November 18, 2024. Jarvis Cocker noted that this rapid recording process was unprecedented for the band, highlighting that the album was "obviously ready to happen."
Dedicated to the memory of bassist Steve Mackey, More features collaborations with notable artists including Richard Hawley and members of the Eno family, who provide backing vocals on one of the tracks. The album also boasts intricate string arrangements by Richard Jones, performed by the Elysian Collective. The lead single, "Spike Island," draws inspiration from the iconic 1990 Stone Roses concert and showcases Cocker's unique approach to blending storytelling with rich musical composition.
Fans can pre-order More in various formats, including colored vinyl editions in blue and green, as well as CD and cassette versions. The vinyl releases are available through Rough Trade Records, ensuring high-quality physical copies for collectors and audiophiles alike. The album's packaging maintains Pulp's tradition of visually striking artwork, continuing the legacy set by their previous releases.
With tracks like "The Hymn of the North" and "A Sunset," More promises to deliver the quintessential Pulp sound while exploring new musical territories. The collaboration with producer James Ford has resulted in a polished yet authentic album that resonates with both long-time fans and new listeners. As Pulp returns to the music scene, More stands as a testament to their enduring influence and ability to captivate audiences across generations.
