Overview

  • 'More' debuted at No. 1 on the UK album chart on June 13, marking Pulp’s first chart-topping LP since 1998’s 'This Is Hardcore'.
  • It is the band’s first new studio album since 2001’s 'We Love Life' and their eighth overall.
  • The record also led the Official Vinyl Albums Chart as the biggest-selling title on wax for the week.
  • Pulp recorded 'More' over three weeks in late 2024 and dedicated it to their late bassist Steve Mackey.
  • The group is touring the UK and Ireland with festival slots at Montreux Jazz Festival and Incheon Pentaport Rock Festival, and a gap in their schedule has fuelled speculation about a Glastonbury appearance.
