Pulp were great (the best really), but that’s mostly thanks to Jarvis Cocker. The rest of his band were just along for the ride. He’s better off sticking to the solo work. Afterall, he’s always been more a Nick Cave/Serge/Cohen style songwriter. Being in a band collective just takes the wind from his sails.
Oh, I don’t know about that. I’d rather listen to ANY Pulp song than most of “Jarvis” or the “Relaxed Muscle” album.
This is FREAKIN’ awesome! And i kind of like that it’s the ORIGINAL Verve without Tong (no offense to Tong). I like Ashcroft’s solo stuff but I’m ready for him to ROCK again and I believe McCabe and Co will bring that out of him. THIS IS MUSIC!!!
The original Verve line up is the four of them without Simon Tong. He was only a member for a brief 2 years to replace Nick McCabe.
Nick is the Verve. Judging what they will sound like is a moot point. They made amazing albums when they were together. I doubt this will be another Urban Hymns album. I am sure they are going back to basics. Which is not too shabby.
Great article. I can¡¯t wait to hear more about your research tool. If it is as good as your other products, then you will have another winner. Your article pretty much summed up what I have been seeing too. Great to see some hard data.
