Jarvis Cocker

Jarvis Cocker

Jarvis Cocker has been played on NTS over 10 times, featured on 14 episodes and was first played on 17 November 2012.

Jarvis Branson Cocker (born on September 19 1963, in Sheffield, United Kingdom) is an English songwriter and rock musician, best known for fronting the britpop band Pulp.

Pulp disbanded in 2002 (although they have reformed on a number occasions since), but Cocker has been busy. In 2003, he re-emerged to promote a new album A Heavy Nite With… for his new band, Relaxed Muscle. 2005 then brought Cocker briefly back into the limelight with his contribution to the soundtrack for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. He also collaborated with and wrote lyrics for Nancy Sinatra's and Charlotte Gainsbourg's comeback albums.

Cocker embarked on a solo career under his own name with an album entitled Jarvis (2006). His sophomore effort Further Complications (produced by Steve Albini) was released in 2009.

Cocker released an album called Room 29 (2017) with Chilly Gonzales and then started a new band called Jarv is…, with which he released the critically acclaimed and very successful album Beyond the Pale (2020).

2021 saw the release of Chansons d'Ennui Tip-Top, which served as a companion release to the soundtrack for Wes Anderson's 2021 film, The French Dispatch. Cocker sang the songs in film character, the name of this character being Tip-Top, which explains why the album is sometimes simply referred to as Chansons d'Ennui, formally credited to Tip-Top.

More film music followed in 2022, as Cocker recorded the original soundtrack to the film This Is Going To Hurt. This where it gets complicated: the band name Jarv is… can be spotted on the artwork of This Is Going To Hurt (Original Soundtrack), but the score is listed on streaming platforms such as Spotify under Jarvis Cocker. As a matter of fact, the band name Jarv is… seems to have been dropped altogether, as all Jarv is… albums are now also listed under Jarvis Cocker.
