Indie icons Pulp have announced a new album, More, and shared their first single in almost 24 years, called Spike Island.

Speaking on BBC 6 Music, frontman Jarvis Cocker said the band had been tempted back into the studio by the overwhelming response to their 2023 reunion tour.

"We did play one new song towards the end of the tour, and nobody threw things at us, or left to go to the bar," he said. "So we just thought we'd carry on and see what we could conjure up."

The Sheffield band were one of the biggest acts of the 1990s Britpop era – although their music never quite fit into the backward-looking musical revisionism of that movement – with songs like Babies, Disco 2000 and Common People.
