It by Pulp.
Rating:Performer Notes:
- Pulp: Jarvis Cocker, Simon Hinkler, Peter Boam, David Hinkler, Wayne Furniss, Beefy Garry O.
- Additional personnel: Mister Barry Thompson, Jill Taylor, Saskia Cocker, Jon Short, Joanne, Julie, Alison.
- The first Pulp album, 1983's IT is slightly different from their later material. While many of lead crooner Jarvis Cocker's lyrical concerns are present--seedy sexual encounters, class distinctions, and the like--there are glimpses of hope and joy among the sordid details. This is most notable in "Love Love," a downright cheerful English music-hall number where Cocker proclaims, "I love love" against a sprightly backing track replete with trumpets.
- Die-hard fans need not fear that this is a kinder, gentler version of Pulp, though. "Joking Aside" features Cocker intoning, "Yes, I'd like to turn you over, see what's on your other side, see if the problem's in my mind" in a manner reminiscent of Depeche Mode's Martin Gore at the latter's sleaziest. While the sound is not quite as musically dense and orchestral as it is on latter albums, a sense of claustrophobia dominates the proceedings in spite of the sparse instrumentation and airy production. "Blue Girls" is positively maudlin, with an understated flute and a female backing choir. Trivia buffs should note that Simon Hinkler, who left after this record to join The Mission (UK), is among the members of this early version of Pulp.
