Pulp have released new single ‘Tina’, taken from their UK Number 1 album ‘More’, alongside an accompanying music video.
The track, which has become a live favourite during their recent performances, features a new video created in collaboration with Austrian artist and graphic designer Julia Schimautz from Berlin-based DTAN Studio, with lyric animation by Gaussian Studio. The visuals blend digital creation with traditional printmaking aesthetics, featuring bespoke designs, live footage from recent shows, and Jarvis Cocker’s silhouette.
“I love this video – it’s like digital Fuzzy-Felt,” says Cocker. “‘Tina’ was one of the last songs written for ‘More’. It’s about obsession & fantasy. You should feel like you need a shower after listening to it.”
The release follows Pulp’s UK and Ireland arena tour, European headline shows, and their recent Glastonbury Festival performance, which included a Red Arrows flyover. The band are now preparing for their upcoming North American tour, with their next appearance scheduled for Sheffield’s Tramlines festival.
Speaking about the hometown show, Cocker says, “Tramlines is going to be great. I’m hoping to see everyone on the bill: it’s a terrific line-up. & it will be our first chance to play the new songs to the population of the People’s Republic of South Yorkshire. Right good.”
