'JARVIS ROCKER' ON NEXT ALBUM?

It appears JARVIS COCKER may be giving vent to his inner rock monster on his forthcoming album.

The former PULP frontman has said he intends to test new material during three US dates this month, with a view to recording in the near future, reports the BBC.

According to the singer, the new songs will have a distinctly heavier fell than earlier tracks, as he discovered during the recording of his 2006 solo debut JARVIS that he had a band that "could rock".

Speaking to BBC 6 Music, he said: "That really made me think. I'd never really had that before. Pulp could be loud, but we didn't really rock…. Well, maybe occasionally."


He added that it may also be linked to a midlife crisis, saying: "Rock while to still have the ability to do it before your bits start falling off."

Cocker recently played a DJ set at the Mighty Boosh festival in Kent.
