Pulp Tease More to follow 'More'

Jarvis Cocker has teased fans that there could be more music from Pulp on the way. Pulp released their first full length album in 24 years this summer, their first record since the death  of bassist Steve Mackey in 2023.

The release saw them lock in a huge surprise set on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury this year, and also led to frontman Cocker and co. being shortlisted for the 2025 Mercury Prize.

Now, the band have suggested that fans won’t need to wait much longer for more songs to follow.

Speaking to Uncut for a new interview, the band looked back at the massive positive response to their latest LP and said that they may be writing some more songs after they play their 2026 tour dates.

When asked about their plans for the new year, drummer Nick Banks kept cards close to his chest, sharing, “We are playing some concerts in 2026, so the first half of next year is mapped out, but that’s about it.

“Looking too far ahead probably isn’t good for your mental health. I had been looking forward to retirement, but it looks like I’ve had to delay that a bit.”

Cocker agreed, but subtly mentioned that new music isn’t out of the question. “We have a few months off at the start of the year and I am going to think about it then,” he said. “Everybody’s enjoyed it as far as I can tell, so we might write some more songs, who knows?”

Earlier in the interview, the two shared their anticipation of seeing what the public reaction to ‘More’ was going to be. “You don’t know until you do something whether people are interested or they will just say, ‘Oh, that’s nice,’ and turn over the page,” the singer explained.

“‘More’ was finished by January and the single ‘Spike Island’ had gone down well, so I had hopes… but didn’t expect it to be a Number One album. I was very happy.”

The comments about new material made during the latest interview differ from what Banks and keyboardist Candida Doyle told NME on the red carpet for the Mercury Prize last month. There, the two expressed their joy at being shortlisted for the prestigious award again, having taken home the prize for their classic album ‘Different Class’ in 1996, but added that they were “not itching” to get back in the studio.
