Jarvis Cocker in action at the TRNSMT show in 2023<\/p>\n
F.E.E.L.I.N.G C.A.L.L.E.D L.O.V.E is a drug soaked anxiety dream. A pen portrait of the desolation longing can leave you wallowing in.<\/p>\n
In a set of two halves, This is Hardcore era tracks rub shoulders with the reborn material and even snippets from the unfairly maligned We Love Live.\u00a0<\/p>\n
An intermission is followed by Something Changed as the band rally for a final emotional assault on a frankly adoring crowd.<\/p>\n
The cocaine flecked panic of the Fear gives way to vintage number OU before the winner of a fans vote, Seconds, in a touch showing a band who maybe love their fans as much as the fans love them.<\/p>\n
You see it\u2019s love, or lust, that drives us and few people can capture the hinterland that lingers between like Jarvis.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Whether it\u2019s the highs and lows of existing or the fading fortunes, friendships and hopes of a disappearing youth.<\/p>\n
Tonight, it\u2019s all on show.<\/p>\n
The home straight is an emotional rollercoaster.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Acrylic Afternoons, conjures up images of nylon sweaters and suburban claustrophobia, Do You Remember the First Time? Is a portrait of the mediocre mundanity we all thought we could avoid while Misshapes, that rallying call for the unremarkable, sets the arena alight.<\/p>\n
Got To Have Love, another fresh cut, feels like a wiser, warmer sibling of F.E.E.L.I.N.G\u2026 and hammers home Pulp\u2019s knack for combining disco and desperation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Building to the finale, a frantic, frenzied thrashing of Babies, reaches the climatic cry of a man done wrong \u2018we were on the bed when you came home\/I heard you stop outside the door\/I know you won’t believe it’s true\/I only went with her ’cause she looks like you\u2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But where does a band go from there?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Enter Common People. A hymn to the desperation of the working man. Fags, pool, supermarkets. Of the hope among the chip papers. Of looking after your own. And living. In spite of it all.<\/p>\n
Read more on the Scottish Sun<\/p>\n
And that\u2019s that. A Sunset, a gentle glow that closes the latest record, is a swift half at the bar. One more for the road from one of Britain\u2019s most important bands.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So then, Oasis or Blur? I joke. The answer, as always, is Pulp.<\/p>\n
