Great article today from the now legendary Aquarium Drunkard on one of my favourite albums of all time, Pulp's 'His 'n' Hers' by a regular contributor J. Neas.

Pulp :: His ‘n’ Hers


"There are a number of stories of artists that took the long road to commercial success, but the story of Pulp is an especially curious one. This is a band that spent significant time in the artistic wilderness — nearly 15 years. And then, suddenly, one album permanently set them into the firmament of Britpop elder statesmen – Blur, Oasis, and Suede in particular. That album, His n Hers, turns 25 today, and its sharp, calculated fission of a decade and a half’s worth of preparation still sounds like a chart-topping album, albeit one from some alternate timeline where some very different things happened in terms of commercial music."


Really worth a read . . . . . . as always
