Jarvis Cocker - Jarvis (Rough Trade)
Text: Phil Hebblethwaite
This is the moment when Pulp's Jarvis Cocker puts to one side the experimental projects and gets back to what he does best - recording highly satirical and classic-sounding pop songs.
There's a boring grumpiness that crept in as he's reached middle age, but he's unquestionably still got something to say.
