Description

Pulp's music is often dismissed as a fleeting moment of Britpop frivolity. However, this book argues that their records warrant closer examination. By delving into the band's discography, Owen Hatherley reveals a complex landscape of themes and ideas, including sex, class, and architecture. Through an analysis of Pulp's songs, music videos, and cultural context, Hatherley sheds light on the band's often-overlooked significance. This book is not just about pop music, but about the ways in which it reflects and shapes societal attitudes towards sex, city life, and class. By exploring Pulp's work in depth, Hatherley offers a nuanced understanding of this influential British band.
