Jarvis Cocker’s new record Further Complications was recorded in Chicago by Steve Albini at Electrical Audio. I would pay good money to have been a fly on the wall during those sessions. “Angela” is the first single from that meeting of the minds, and it sounds as though Cocker has been cozying up to some early Elvis Costello records, if his delivery is any indication. The garage rock fuzz works well as a backdrop for Cocker’s relentless assault of bon mots. Musically, it may not burn the barn door down with its ingenuity, but it’s Jarvis Cocker produced by Steve Albini. A must hear.
