Jarvis Cocker has revealed that he has been working on Pulp songs for a possible new release. The frontman said that although he wasn’t sure what would happen with the new material, he had still been thinking about the possibility of a fresh batch of tracks.
Asked about the possibility of new Pulp songs in the pipeline, he answered:
“It took us long enough to relearn the old songs, so we’ll have to see about that. But I’ve got ideas. I keep my little notebook, I’ve always got that with me. Hopefully there’s more stuff than nonsense in there.”
Cocker also revealed he had been “super-worried” before Pulp’s comeback shows last year. “You may have spent your life doing something, but that doesn’t necessarily mean anyone else is bothered so it was nice that people were bothered when we decided to play some shows. And the fact that it wasn’t all bald heads when we looked out was nice as well. Some reasonably young people came to see us.” Last week (March 31), Pulp played their first live show of 2012 at London’s Royal Albert Hall as part of this year’s run of Teenage Cancer Trust gigs. The set including 1983’s ‘My Lighthouse’ during the encore. Joined by Cocker’s sister Saskia and her schoolfriend Jill Talbot who performed backing vocals on the original track.
Pulp are due to take their show to America this summer with dates including Coachella penciled in.
