Beyond The Pale is the debut studio album from JARV IS..., the project fronted by former Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker. Conceived as a live collaborative experiment, the album was built from recordings of performances between 2017 and 2019, later refined in the studio. The result is a bold, literate, and sonically adventurous record that blends spoken word, synth textures, and post-punk grooves with Cocker’s signature wit and observational lyricism.

This limited edition pressing on translucent orange vinyl captures the album’s raw, theatrical energy and includes a gatefold sleeve with full credits. The album explores themes ranging from evolution and existentialism to nightlife and nostalgia, all delivered with Cocker’s unmistakable voice and flair for the eccentric.

Track listing:
Save The Whale
Must I Evolve?
Am I Missing Something?
House Music All Night Long
Sometimes I Am Pharaoh

A compelling return from one of Britain’s most distinctive voices, Beyond The Pale is both timely and timeless—an art-rock statement that’s as danceable as it is thought-provoking.
