Beyond the Pale is the upcoming debut studio album by British rock band Jarv Is, led by former Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker.[1] It is set to be released by Rough Trade Records on 17 July 2020, having been delayed by the coronavirus pandemic.
Background and recording
Jarv Is (stylised as JARV IS...) were formed in late 2017, to perform at Sigur Ros' Norður og Niður festival in Iceland. The group was "conceived as a way of writing songs in collaboration with an audience". They began recording their performances to assist their songwriting, until Geoff Barrow suggested the recordings could be used as the foundations of an album. The group recorded vocals and overdubs at Narcissus Studios in Neasden, London, while they completed post-production at Jason Buckle's Place du Big Boss studio in Raynes Park.[2][3]
Release
"Must I Evolve?" was released on 15 May 2019, as the band's debut single.[4] On 2 March 2020, the band released "House Music All Night Long", and announced the album on Steve Lamacq's BBC Radio 6 show. It was originally scheduled to be released by Rough Trade Records on 1 May 2020,[5] but was pushed back to 4 September due to the coronavirus pandemic,[6] before eventually being brought forward to 17 July. In June, the band shared a music video for opening track "Save the Whale".[7]
