After Pulp, Jarvis Cocker consoled himself with semi-retirement, moving to Paris, making occasional media appearances to talk about Outsider Art, Scott Walker or other personal crusades, and sometimes writing songs for others (Marianne Faithfull, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Nancy Sinatra and Air). Jarvis eventually discovered his voice and released a solo record, Jarvis, in 2006. It was pretty good, but Further Complications is even better. Recorded with the one and only Steve Albini, Further Complications is a smart, snarling and sexy power pop record that, in an alternate universe, could have been made with his former outfit. Everything you love about the man is here - and that should be enough for your hard earned dollar.
