Jarvis Cocker’s JARV IS… announce debut album ‘Beyond The Pale’

Woohoo! JARV IS… have confirmed that their debut album is on the way, with ‘Beyond The Pale’ set to be released on 1st May via Rough Trade Records.

Made up of Jarvis Cocker (vocals, guitar, percussion), Serafina Steer (harp, keyboards, vocals), Emma Smith(violin, guitar vocals), Andrew McKinney (bass, vocals), Jason Buckle (synthesiser & electronic treatments) and Adam Betts (drums, percussion, vocals), ‘Beyond The Pale’ came to being after Portishead’s Geoff Barrow suggested that the live recordings the group had been making could be used as the basis of an album. As you do.

Including last year’s ‘MUST I EVOLVE?’, according to a statement the forthcoming record is “not a live album - it’s an alive album”, marking Jarvis’ first original music since 2009’s ‘Further Complications’ record.
