More is coming... Pulp's first album in nearly 24 years will be with us on 6 June and can be pre-ordered now, but ahead of its release the band have a little more.

Having announced their return with Spike Island, and inspired by the overwhelming reaction to the track, Pulp will release the song on 7” – making it their first vinyl single since the acclaimed, James Murphy-produced After You in 2013.

The Spike Island 7" single is out on May 23, and what's more it will be backed on its B-side by a brand new track that won't feature on the band's forthcoming album. A gently building, melodic meditation, Open Strings will initially only be available on the reverse of the single.
