Pulp are back, just a little more harmless – Diepresse.com

Pulp of all bands of the Britpop were always the most British. Style, topics, dance style, vocals, very, you already know. Her over-Britishness prove Pulp on her single for her first album since « We Love Life » from 2001: Spike Island may know as a strategically cheap island in the port of Cork. But that was also the name of a concert by the Stone Roses 1990, which did not take place on the island, but in northern England. It is probably only music enthusiasts beyond the English Channel. « Woodstock of the Manchester generation » is called by some. Musician Jason Buckle was there, he wrote the new single with pulp mastermind Jarvis Cocker, in the meantime the two had appeared as a duo relaxed muscle. In terms of content, the song only has to do with the shine of past days. The song is about fame, « I was born to perform », sings cocker, but also about a fight with a clothing hook: « Can you guess who? ». The text is a bit meaningless, less pointed, the groove a little more leisurely than at pulp flowering times. The video is worth seeing for which cocker used to live old band photos with the help of artificial intelligence. The four -fingered hands are scary. Heide Rampetzreiter
