Pulp ‘haven’t talked about recording new album’

Pulp have not discussed the possibility of recording a new album despite their successful live return of 2011 and 2012.

The band’s bass player Steve Mackey made the admission to NME as Pulp prepare for the European premiere of their A Film About Life, Death & Supermarkets documentary in Sheffield on June 7th.

“I know you’re not going to believe this but we honestly haven’t talked about it,” Mackey said, while Candida Doyle added: “We’re just not that kind of band. If you step back into that environment where you want to release records, then all these complications step up.”

Pulp: A Film About Life, Death & Supermarkets centres around the band’s December 2012 homecoming gig at the Sheffield Arena which brought to an end their live comeback which had begun around 18 months earlier for various festival appearances and headline gigs.

“And so for Pulp who, from behind the shelter of a vast black veil, emerge to ‘Do You Remember The First Time?’; fittingly one of the singles which first set them free from obscurity and on their way to dominance in the Nineties as ‘His N Hers’ became one of the most acclaimed releases of 1994, losing out on that year’s Mercury Music Prize to M People,” Live4ever’s review of the band’s 2011 Leeds Festival performance reads. “Proof, if ever it’s needed, that critics can sometimes get it very, very wrong.”
