Monthly Pick: Pulp & Suede — Britpop Elders, Future Tense

Two 1990s powerhouses return with records that feel resolutely now. I am currently listening to both on repeat. Maybe because I came of age in the 1990s, but more so because they are that good. Pulp’s More is the first studio album in 24 years — Jarvis Cocker’s wry surveillance of middle age set toContinue reading “Monthly Pick: Pulp & Suede — Britpop Elders, Future Tense”
