LONDON—Britpop legends Pulp announced Tuesday a new live album and accompanying film, solidifying their recent return with a product that confirms they did, in fact, do an encore. The project, titled “Pulp: What Do You Do For An Encore,” will capture the band’s recent reunion performances. Fans expressed a mixture of relief and mild confusion. The news arrived as the band wrapped up a string of successful shows.

The release comes after the band’s surprise album, More, which received surprisingly positive reviews. “It’s important to document the encore,” stated band frontman Jarvis Cocker. “Otherwise, people might think we just did one show and then went home.” He added, “This encore is absolutely vital.” The album and film promise to showcase the band’s undiminished energy. They assured fans that the encore was not just a one-off event.
Critics lauded the band’s continued relevance. “Pulp has managed to capture lightning in a bottle, again,” wrote music historian Dr. Brenda Quibble. “This encore proves their enduring appeal.” She noted that the encore was particularly well-received by younger audiences.
An Encore More Meaningful Than The Original Show?
Concert footage from arenas across the U.K. will be featured in the film. The live album will include fan favorites and new material. “We’re just glad we could give people something more,” said Pulp’s longtime manager, Nigel ‘The Nudge’ Bentley. “This encore is our gift to the fans. And to ourselves.” He believes the encore will cement their legacy.
Pulp’s previous studio album, We Love Life, was released in 2001. The band’s reunion tour has been a critical and commercial success. The encore performances were particularly energetic. The band plans to release further archival material, possibly including outtakes from the encore sessions.
At press time, Pulp announced plans for a ‘post-encore encore,’ a smaller, more intimate acoustic performance in a community hall. They are still deciding on the title.
