Pulp Announces New Album 'Live!' and Documentary Film
Pulp has announced a new album titled 'Live!', set for release on August 28. The album serves as the soundtrack for the documentary film 'Pulp: What Do You Do For an Encore?', which will premiere this fall on MUBI. The film is produced by Garth Jennings, who directed the music video for 'Help the Aged' in 1997, and focuses on the band's 2025 live shows at London's O2 Arena. Frontman Jarvis Cocker explained that the album title reflects how concerts revive songs.
