Jun 23, 2025With a collection of memorable songs offering observations on life with both a singular wit and obvious care for its subjects, Pulp clearly still feel comfortable on More flourishing at the high bar they set for themselves long ago.

Jun 3, 2025To come back after over two decades and casually produce an album that sounds like it could have been made in the band’s heyday is quite some achievement.

Jun 5, 2025That it’s been executed so flawlessly is testament to the musicians involved; acting both as fuel for this summer’s arena shows and an artistic work in its own right, ‘More’ perfectly meets the brief of what a Pulp record should sound like in 2015.

Jun 5, 2025More accomplishes in just three songs the transition between fan-settling familiarity and creative advancement.

Jun 2, 2025It's a worthy continuation of the unfulfilled upswing they were on when they called it quits feels like an undeserved bonus. More is unlikely to win Pulp many new fans, but that would be presumptuous to really want (and undignified to aim for) when you can otherwise hit the mark so authentically.
