Jarvis Cocker is still not ruling out the possibility of Pulp releasing new music in the future, even if the chances remain remote.
Speaking to NME after the band’s reunion documentary A Film About Life, Death and Supermarkets picked up a prize at the publication’s awards ceremony last week, Cocker said of working on new material: “We’re very cloak and dagger about that, well, it isn’t cloak and dagger, we just don’t know! We’re not being mysterious, we’re just not very together.”
“It’s like a volcano, you can think ‘wow, that’s dormant’ and then the next day your house has gone, because it’s erupted. Everything to do with Pulp or to do with me happens at such a glacial pace, that’s it hard to tell whether anything’s happening or not, but when it does, the whole geography of the planet is changed.”
Pulp returned in 2011 after nearly a decade away and remained on the road intermittently for over a year. Live4ever was present as their live comeback reached the Leeds Festival.
