Pulp

On December 21, 2001, Pulp graced the BBC’s Friday Night with Jonathan Ross, delivering an intimate acoustic performance of 'The Birds in Your Garden.' This live recording followed the release of their album 'We Love Life' in 2001, which was the band’s final studio album before their hiatus. It’s fascinating to note that during this time, Pulp was embracing a more mature sound, stepping away from the Britpop frenzy that had defined the 90s. The choice to perform acoustically highlighted Jarvis Cocker's striking lyricism and the band’s evolving artistic direction. The performance also showcased the band’s distinctive blend of wit and introspection, a signature that defined their identity. As they were nearing the end of their active years, this appearance reflects the rich tapestry of Pulp's ability to adapt while remaining true to their innovative roots.
