Garth Jennings Directs New Pulp Documentary

A 90-minute film directed by Garth Jennings covers the period leading up to the tour for Pulp's album More. The record marks the band's first album in 24 years. The film includes archive footage as well as recordings from two sold-out concerts staged by Pulp at The O2 in London last summer. In addition to directing the 90-minute documentary, Jennings designed the stage show that appears in the film.

Jarvis Cocker spoke to NME prior to the London premiere of the film and his 63rd birthday celebration, which took place at Bar Italia in Soho. During the interview, Cocker stated that Something Changed is the only Pulp song that can be considered relatively cheerful. The band's lineup includes new members Emma Smith and Richard Jones, both of whom come from a classical music background.

Cocker also continues his broadcasting work, hosting a radio programme on BBC 6 Music. Furthermore, Cocker and his wife are working as curators for an upcoming project. They are curating an art exhibition that will be held at the Hepworth Gallery in Wakefield in May next year.
