​Jarvis Cocker Returns as JARV IS… for New Song "Must I Evolve?"

BY Sarah MurphyPublished May 15, 2019

Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker has returned with a brand new track called "Must I Evolve?" — and based on the single's artwork and lyrics, the answer is overwhelmingly, "yes."
 
The track is the first recorded release from his primarily live act JARV IS…, featuring bandmates Serafina Steer, Emma Smith, Andrew McKinney, Jason Buckle and Adam Betts.
 
The physical single will only be available at the band's upcoming live shows in Europe, because, as Cocker himself puts it, "Life is primarily a live experience."
 
Listen to "Must I Evolve?" below.
 
JARV IS… follows Cocker's recent Room 29 collaborative project with Chilly Gonzales, a guest appearance on Feist's "Century" and a tribute to a dead cat.
