🎤 Pulp More: A Comeback That Hits Deeper Than Nostalgia
Sub heading
Pulp is back — and not just for the sake of it. Their new album, Pulp More, released on 6 June 2025 via Rough Trade Records, is their first studio release in 24 years. Honest, melodic, and unmistakably Pulp, this record is a comeback that offers fans something deeper than just a dose of Britpop nostalgia.
Pulp, Back Again — But Different
Pulp More doesn’t try to recreate the 90s — it’s a modern reflection from a band that’s evolved. Jarvis Cocker's lyricism is as sharp as ever, now wrapped in themes of reflection, identity, and growing older. It’s a mature Pulp — and one that feels more relevant than ever.
Where earlier Pulp albums told tales of misfit youth and urban boredom, Pulp More digs into life on the other side of those stories. Tracks like “Spike Island” and “Grown Ups” are full of honesty, humour, and that distinct Cocker self-awareness.
With Pulp More, the band explores aging not as decline but as insight. It’s witty, warm, and unflinchingly real.
🟨 The Sound of Experience
Produced by James Ford, Pulp More weaves orchestral pop with disco grooves and touches of European funk. The result? A rich, layered sound that honours the past without living in it. It’s the kind of production that says: we know exactly who we are — and we’re not done yet.
Pulp More also stands as a tribute to the late Steve Mackey, whose spirit and bass lines echo throughout the record.
Standout tracks on Pulp More include “The Hymn of the North,” a melancholic love letter to post-industrial Britain, and “Grown Ups,” a cleverly observed snapshot of time and regret.
Opening track “Spike Island” kicks things off with the declaration: “I was born to perform / It’s a calling.” With Pulp More, that calling has been well and truly answered.
More Reviews are In
The reviews are in, and Pulp More is being hailed as a triumph. The Guardian praised its emotional weight, while Far Out Magazine noted how it “delivers exactly what they promise, and even more.”
Pulp More doesn’t just live up to expectations — it quietly exceeds them.

More on Stage
In support of Pulp More, the band is back on tour with UK and North American dates. Early shows have proven the new material holds its own next to the classics — and in true Pulp style, every performance brings something new to the table.
Pulp More isn’t just an album — it’s a reminder of what made Pulp brilliant in the first place. Clever, thoughtful, musically rich, and deeply human, this isn’t just a return — it’s a renewal.
