Jarvis Cocker Claims Pulp Will Return
He’s currently busying himself with working on the new Harry Potter movie soundtrack, but Jarvis Cocker has claimed that his band Pulp may well reform and return to making music.
Pulp split up in early 2002 after the lukewarm commercial and critical reaction to their seventh album ‘We Love Life’ in 2001. Singer Jarvis Cocker relocated to Paris and fronted the sleaze glam outfit Relaxed Muscle with Pulp guitarist Richard Hawley, while other band members - Candida Doyle, Mark Webber, Nick Banks and Steve Mackey - tackled various solo projects.
However, in a new interview it appears that Pulp didn't disband for good, and may get together again.
"We're far too lazy for that kind of dramatic-ness.” Cocker explained to 6Music, “Pulp, as I'm sure you kind of know,
has undergone many periods of hibernation and stuff. I don't know whether we'll do anything again.
"I've been doing Pulp since I was 15 years old and I'm now a 41-year-old man. Even though we've never released that many records I was always doing it and I just thought, 'I'll try summit else.'”
Cocker is currently working on the soundtrack for the film ‘Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire’ but has a number of tracks that may (or may not) end up forming the basis for new Pulp material.
"I've been writing some songs,” he continued, "When I've got enough ones that I think are fit for human consumption then I'll try and decide what to do with them.
"The main thing that I've done recently is to write some songs for the Harry Potter film, but that's just a shameless effort to try and ingratiate myself with kids."
