More. by Pulp

More., Pulp's eighth studio album, arrived on Rough Trade on 6 June 2025, their first new album in twenty-four years, since We Love Life in 2001. The Sheffield band had been back on the road since 2022, and James Ford produced the comeback with the four returning core members: Jarvis Cocker singing, Candida Doyle on keyboards, Nick Banks on drums and Mark Webber on guitar. Andrew McKinney, Emma Smith and Adam Betts, who had played with Cocker in Jarv Is, filled out the studio band, with touring violist Richard Jones pitching in.

It's also the first Pulp record since Freaks without Steve Mackey, who died in 2023 and still has co-writing credits on two songs. None of that turns it into a wake: Cocker still sounds like the sharpest observer in the room, and "Spike Island" is the one the countdowns grabbed. Critics were near-unanimous, and it went straight in at number one in the UK, their first chart-topping album since This Is Hardcore in 1998.
