JARV IS - Beyond The Pale. LP [Indie exclusive Clear Orange, Gatefold Vinyl, ltd. to first pressing]
This is the first original music from Jarvis Cocker since the “Further Complications” album in 2009.
JARV IS… was conceived as a way of writing songs in collaboration with an audience. As the material they were playing was in a state of flux the band decided to record their live shows so that they could monitor how the songs were developing. After an appearance at the Desert Daze festival in California, Geoff Barrow (Portishead, Beak>) suggested that these recordings could be used as the basis for an album.
JARV IS… an ongoing live experience because life is an ongoing live experience. Or, to put it another way:
THIS IS NOT A LIVE ALBUM – it’s an ALIVE ALBUM.
