The album emerged directly from Pulp's 2023 reunion tour: during soundchecks for the run of dates, the band began rehearsing a new song called \u003cstrong\u003e\"The Hymn of the North\"\u003c\/strong\u003e, which they performed live for the first time at Sheffield Arena. That performance, Cocker has said, opened the floodgates — the remaining songs on the album were written during the first half of 2024, with a couple drawing on musical ideas that had been set aside in the previous century. Recorded \u003cstrong\u003eover three weeks starting 18 November 2024\u003c\/strong\u003e — the shortest recording period in Pulp's history — at a studio in \u003cstrong\u003eWalthamstow, London\u003c\/strong\u003e, by producer \u003cstrong\u003eJames Ford\u003c\/strong\u003e (Arctic Monkeys, Depeche Mode, Jessie Ware), the album was completed with a directness and economy that reflects both the band's experience and the urgency with which the material arrived.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album was made by, in Cocker's own words, four human beings from the North of England aided and abetted by five others from various locations in the British Isles — a formulation that also serves as the sleeve's explicit statement that \u003cstrong\u003eno artificial intelligence was involved at any stage of the creative process\u003c\/strong\u003e, a declaration that sits pointedly in the context of its moment. The guest contributions are substantial: \u003cstrong\u003eRichard Hawley\u003c\/strong\u003e — the Sheffield guitarist and songwriter, whose working relationship with Pulp stretches back decades — wrote the music for one track. \u003cstrong\u003eJason Buckle\u003c\/strong\u003e — former member of All Seeing I and a longtime Cocker collaborator — wrote the music for another. \u003cstrong\u003eThe Eno family\u003c\/strong\u003e provide backing vocals on one song. \u003cstrong\u003eString arrangements\u003c\/strong\u003e were written by \u003cstrong\u003eRichard Jones\u003c\/strong\u003e and performed by the \u003cstrong\u003eElysian Collective\u003c\/strong\u003e. The album is dedicated, in its entirety, to \u003cstrong\u003eSteve Mackey\u003c\/strong\u003e — the band's bassist from 1988 until their original split in 2002, who died on 2 March 2023 at the age of 56. Cocker's dedication reads: \u003cem\u003e\"This album is dedicated to Steve Mackey. This is the best that we can do. Thanks for listening.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe eleven tracks span the range of reference points that have always characterised Pulp at their best: the social observation and oblique autobiography of Cocker's lyrics, Ford's production drawing from the same post-punk and electronic vocabulary he has deployed across his work with Arctic Monkeys and Depeche Mode, and the band's long-established sense of melody and arrangement. \u003cstrong\u003e\"Spike Island\"\u003c\/strong\u003e opens the record — the title referencing the legendary 1990 Stone Roses concert on the Mersey estuary, and by extension the entire mythology of a particular moment in British music that Pulp themselves were adjacent to but always slightly outside of. \u003cstrong\u003e\"The Hymn of the North\"\u003c\/strong\u003e, which closes Side B's penultimate track, is the song whose live debut catalysed the whole project. The album ends with **\"A Sunset\" — a closing track whose title alone suggests the elegiac register in which much of the album operates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003eindie exclusive limited edition\u003c\/strong\u003e is pressed on \u003cstrong\u003e\"Blue Sky Thinking\" blue and white marble vinyl\u003c\/strong\u003e — available exclusively through independent record stores — housed in a \u003cstrong\u003epicture sleeve\u003c\/strong\u003e with a \u003cstrong\u003ebooklet\u003c\/strong\u003e.

It was the foundation on which everything that followed was built: the headline Glastonbury slot in 1995, the commercial breakthrough of \u003cem\u003eDifferent Class\u003c\/em\u003e, and Cocker's emergence as one of the most distinctive and culturally perceptive voices in British pop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduced by \u003cstrong\u003eEd Buller\u003c\/strong\u003e and recorded at \u003cstrong\u003eThe Townhouse Studios in London\u003c\/strong\u003e, the album distils a very specific set of influences — old glam rock, post-punk electronics, orchestral pop, and the deadpan literary tradition of groups like The Auteurs and Saint Etienne — into something simultaneously witty and unsettling. Cocker's lyrical subject matter is voyeurism, desire, class, and the particular texture of working-class life in Sheffield, rendered with an acuity that recalls early Morrissey but consistently undermines sentimentality with uncomfortable honesty. The band — Cocker, \u003cstrong\u003eCandida Doyle\u003c\/strong\u003e (keyboards), \u003cstrong\u003eRussell Senior\u003c\/strong\u003e (violin\/guitar), \u003cstrong\u003eSteve Mackey\u003c\/strong\u003e (bass), \u003cstrong\u003eNick Banks\u003c\/strong\u003e (drums) and \u003cstrong\u003eMark Webber\u003c\/strong\u003e (guitar) — play throughout with the tight, detailed precision of a group that had spent over a decade rehearsing and performing, and the arrangements are among the most richly textured of the Britpop era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe singles are justly celebrated. \u003cstrong\u003e\"Lipgloss\"\u003c\/strong\u003e — the album's opener and first single — establishes the template: a kinetic, glam-inflected guitar riff, a driving beat, and a lyric that transforms a specific observed moment into something universal. \u003cstrong\u003e\"Do You Remember the First Time?\"\u003c\/strong\u003e — Pulp's first UK Top 40 hit, reaching number 33 — is one of the most precisely observed pop songs about sexual initiation ever recorded, accompanied by a short film in which celebrities were asked on camera whether they remembered the first time they had sex. \u003cstrong\u003e\"Babies\"\u003c\/strong\u003e — originally released as a single in 1992 as part of The Sisters EP and restored here after being controversially omitted from the original 1994 vinyl pressing — is the album's most nakedly autobiographical track, built on a feverish, ascending riff and a lyric about teenage voyeurism that many regard as the finest thing Cocker ever wrote. The album closes with \u003cstrong\u003e\"David's Last Summer\"\u003c\/strong\u003e — a sprawling, spoken-word narrative over an uptempo track that is one of Pulp's most remarkable achievements: a complete short story, delivered with the precision and wit of a novelist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003e25th Anniversary Edition\u003c\/strong\u003e has been \u003cstrong\u003eremastered by Steve Mackey\u003c\/strong\u003e — Pulp's own bassist, who subsequently produced records by M.I.A., Arcade Fire and Florence + The Machine — and \u003cstrong\u003ecut at Abbey Road Studios\u003c\/strong\u003e, pressed on \u003cstrong\u003e2× 180 gram black vinyl\u003c\/strong\u003e across four sides, presented in a \u003cstrong\u003egatefold sleeve with printed inner bags\u003c\/strong\u003e bearing reproductions of the original \u003cem\u003eLipgloss\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eDo You Remember the First Time?\u003c\/em\u003e 12\" single artwork.

Released on 30 March 1998 on Island Records, it followed the commercial and cultural phenomenon of \u003cem\u003eDifferent Class\u003c\/em\u003e (1995) and the Glastonbury headline slot of that same year — a set that had made Cocker the most recognisable figure in British indie pop — and deliberately refused to deliver anything the audience might have expected. The album debuted at \u003cstrong\u003enumber one on the UK Albums Chart\u003c\/strong\u003e and earned Pulp a third consecutive \u003cstrong\u003eMercury Music Prize nomination\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003cem\u003eRolling Stone\u003c\/em\u003e declared it \"arguably the first pop album devoted entirely to the subject of the long, slow fade,\" concluding that \"in midlife oblivion, Pulp have found a strange kind of liberation.\" \u003cem\u003eNME\u003c\/em\u003e retrospectively described it as the record that \"brought Britpop to a halt.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe circumstances of the album's creation were as significant as the music itself. Following the commercial peak of \u003cem\u003eDifferent Class\u003c\/em\u003e, guitarist and co-founder \u003cstrong\u003eRussell Senior\u003c\/strong\u003e departed the band. Cocker left for New York alone to decompress and write in isolation, returning with a set of songs that drew on his age, his anxieties about fame, his complicated relationship with desire, and his sense that the decade's cultural moment was ending. The recordings ran from November 1996 to January 1998 at \u003cstrong\u003eThe Townhouse and Olympic Studios in London\u003c\/strong\u003e, with strings recorded at \u003cstrong\u003eWhitfield Street Studio\u003c\/strong\u003e — a longer, more laboured process than any previous Pulp album, audible in the density and ambition of the arrangements. The production was handled by \u003cstrong\u003eChris Thomas\u003c\/strong\u003e — who had produced the Beatles' \u003cem\u003eWhite Album\u003c\/em\u003e, Roxy Music's \u003cem\u003eAvalon\u003c\/em\u003e, and the Sex Pistols' \u003cem\u003eNever Mind the Bollocks\u003c\/em\u003e — with programming by \u003cstrong\u003eMagnus Fiennes\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eOlle Romo\u003c\/strong\u003e, string arrangements by \u003cstrong\u003eAnne Dudley\u003c\/strong\u003e of Art of Noise, and additional piano from Dudley throughout.

The title track \u003cstrong\u003e\"This Is Hardcore\"\u003c\/strong\u003e is a nine-minute meditation on pornography, performance and self-exposure that remains one of the most daring things a British pop band has committed to record. \u003cstrong\u003e\"A Little Soul\"\u003c\/strong\u003e draws structurally on Smokey Robinson's \"Tracks of My Tears\" and is among Cocker's most openly autobiographical lyrics. \u003cstrong\u003e\"Seductive Barry\"\u003c\/strong\u003e is a ten-minute late-night suite. \u003cstrong\u003e\"Glory Days\"\u003c\/strong\u003e is a perfect pop single that was somehow never released as one.
