Jarvis Cocker will celebrate the release of his first JARV IS… album by airing a live concert for free on YouTube tomorrow.

The live showcase for Beyond The Pale was filmed at Peak Cavern in Derbyshire, UK – the same location where two of the LP’s tracks, Must I Evolve? and Sometimes I Am Pharaoh, were initially recorded back in 2018. It’s been helmed by Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard, the team behind Nick Cave’s film 20,000 Days On Earth.

“Beyond the Pale was written (& partially recorded) in front of a live audience, so it feels extra-strange not to be able to take it on the road at the moment,” Jarvis explains.

“Fortunately, our friends Iain & Jane suggested a way round the problem: set up our equipment in a cave & they would film the results. We have invented a new way of playing a concert.”
