Album Notes With 2009's FURTHER COMPLICATIONS, former Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker follows up his well-received solo debut with a considerably randier and more rocked-out set. Aiding the Britpop icon on this edgier outing is none other than noise-loving American producer Steve Albini, best known for his work with the Pixies and Nirvana, who succeeds in creating a more rough-and-tumble aesthetic for Cocker, as most readily heard on the spiky title track and the stomping "Caucasian Blues." Always one for a glam-tinged tune, Cocker lets loose on the bawdy "Angela" and the raucous "Homewrecker," which fittingly features the signature sax stylings of Stooges associate Steve Mackay. Like Nick Cave's Grinderman project, COMPLICATIONS is the sound of Cocker letting his hair down (and, apparently, his beard out), and, though it may perplex some some Pulp diehards, it's undeniably vital and entertaining.
