Britpop's most enduring rockstar, poet, funnyman and bon vivant returns with FURTHER COMPLICATIONS. With a familiar mix of raucous stompers and spoken/sung story-songs, the album finds Jarvis tackling all kinds of complications as he wanders supermarkets, museums and discos en route to the boudoir that's the center of his (imaginary?) hardcore life. As usual the lyrics display his sly Brit-wit. He gives advice to writers on "Further Complications": "Don't write a novel/A shopping list is better." He cracks jokes on "Leftovers" ("I met her in the museum of paleontology/And I make no bones about it") and "I Never Said I was Deep" ("But I am profoundly shallow.") He finds temptation hard to resist in "Angela" ("she's nearly 23") and "Homewrecker!" ("going down with all hands tonight"). But wakes up to disappointment in "Caucasian Blues" ("I've heard it said that you are hung/Like a white man.") He'll have his way with you if he can, but remember, it's all in fun and sometimes a song is just a "F---ingsong."
Came to find Jarvis late. Bought this CD here. Really enjoy it, solid. Bought it a long time ago so can't think through the details at the moment, was here reviewing something else, but if you like Jarvis, you will NOT be disappointed!
Jarvis Cocker's sophomore disc "Further complications" takes one back to the mid nineties when Britpop was at its peak with acts like Blur, oasis, and his alma mater Pulp. Filled with catchy upbeat rockers, it sounds even more Pulp-like than his eponymous debut.
Everything standouts really; the opening title track (with semi biographical lyrics - "I was 3 weeks late coming out of the womb, in no great rush to join the rest of mankind"), the Beatles-esque "Angela", the instrumental "Pilchard", the spoken/sung ballad "Leftovers", the ballad "I never said I was deep" (with vulnerable confessional lyrics), "Homewrecker" (with a nice long intro), the retro sounding ballad "Hold still", and the Bluesy Rocker "Caucasian blues" (with some frenetic drumming and fiery singing),
Other standouts are the spoken/sung ballad "Slush" (with lyrics on global warming, no less), and the lengthy groovy Disco-tinged closing cut "You're in my eyes (Discosong)" (which has spoken lo-fi sounding verses in his best Bowie impression, a "Theme from Shaft" meets Barry White chorus, and a droning coda). Edgy and experimental, my absolute favourite song on the disc!
This is an album that gets better the more you play it. Nice!

Mr. Jarvis Cocker rocks out with his c**k out! "Further Complications" is a quality album of grooves so tight it could easily unwind the tensest ball of yarn. After seeing Jarvis perform live at the Music Hall of Williamsburg, I was reminded of his brilliant showmanship, legendary dance grooves, cheeky in-between-song banter, one-of-a-kind voice, and ability to craft the coolest of tunes. Like a fine wine, Jarvis manages to get better and better with age. Pulp was an epic band, but Jarvis is one of the few breakout lead singers from the Nineties era to successfully command a stage on his own. This album showcases a Brit with ballistic talent! Warning: this album is best enjoyed on a turntable!
Jarvis Cocker is back again, and like his previous solo album, Jarvis, a lot has happened since you last heard from him. 2009 Jarvis is a changed man, but at times the new man sounds an awful lot like Pulp-era Jarvis.
Most of the album seems to be dedicated to the mid-life crisis man, hotly fumbling after the young twentysomething lasses who cross his path, still the same man who used women like Kleenex over ten years ago, but now knowing that he's past his prime and that "this is no 'mouth-watering proposition.'" He's still got to try though; it's almost like he really can't help himself.
There is just enough of a different side of the man, though, the wistful, wiser man who sees life passing him all too fast. "Hold Still" is a downright beautiful plea for time and the ones he loves to stop slipping through his fingers. It seems that with one hand he wants to hold time still and relish life, and with the other he wants to lift your skirt. Very contradictory, but very Jarvis Cocker.
Overall, though, I think this album comes together quite nicely and seems stronger than 'Jarvis' ever was. His voice is stronger, he's not afraid to scream, but he's also not afraid to whimper "you're everything to me" to her back as she's leaving for good. There is definitely more depth here as the album -- perhaps unintentionally? -- chronicles the end of a marriage and a middle-aged man once again thrust into the wide world, trying to figure out where he fits now. A touching and honest look into the mind of a great, if greatly flawed, man.
Auch hier war die Gitarrensimulation am Kauf nicht ganz unschuldig. Habe mir das Album angehört und muss sagen, dass es sich in keine Ecke zuordnen lässt. Mal melancholisch, mal mit einem Augenzwinkern und beim nächsten Lied schon wieder auf einer ganz anderen Schiene. Die Scheibe wird es wohl nicht zum Dauerrenner in meinem Player schaffen, doch enttäuscht bin ich vom Kauf nicht. Nach allem, was ich mir in den letzten Jahren an Rockmusik angehört habe, war das hier eine angenehme Abwechslung. Womöglich ist die Scheibe nicht jedermanns Geschmack, doch für Leute, die über den Tellerrand hinwegschauen, ist das Album nicht schlecht. Ich bin zufrieden mit dem, was ich hören durfte.
Pour ce second album,notre ami Jarvis s'est laissé poussé la barbe ,s'est fait photographier dans une position aussi inconfortable que Bowie sur la pochette de Lodger ,bref tout ça semble compliqué.... Produit par Steve Albini(Nirvana,The Auteurs,Pixies entre autres..),"Further Complications" a invité les guitares et l'artillerie lourde 70's... A la premiere écoute ,les titres "Further complications" et "Angela" font des clins d'oeil a Bowie et a Iggy Pop avec des gimmicks "riffs + percussions" déjà entendus sur les albums des illustres précités... Donc une tonalité tres Rock n'roll qui ne dépareillerait pas sur les meilleurs Franck Black ,mais également de la soul 70's a la "Shaft" sur le très langoureux titre de cloture "You're in my eyes "... Taillé dans le "dur" ,cet album est surtout calibré pour la scène ou notre quadragenaire devrait jouer de son talent et ainsi passer de l'orfèvre en pop-songs a la bete de scene toutes guitares dehors... Jarvis ne nous livre pas l'album parfait que l'on peut attendre de lui mais nous amène dans son univers ou il revisite les 70's en faisant sourire et danser son auditoire....et c'est déjà très bien!!!!!
This is an unforgivably bad album. Rather than craft the greatness Pulp achieved in dense, synth-layered texture, the band's former singer Jarvis Cocker keeps attempting on solo albums to create short poppy songs -- at which he's terrible. Pulp was able to write pop, but it was always in the 5 minute range and had lots of texture and wonderfully dark lyrics. This time, his pop is trying to be aggressive and have basic arrangements and the results are intolerable and quite cliche and formulaic. Even the longer tracks are just okay; nothing special at all. Jarvis needs to rethink what were his strengths when he did his best work with Pulp in the mid-'90s instead of living up to some ideal of pop music at which he is not good and which isn't worth achieving anyway. I fear Jarvis is over-thinking what his task as a musician should be, and he seems afraid to commit to his former band. He should bring back Pulp to kick some sense into his creative direction as well as to bring back Candida Doyle's terrific synthesizer.
Looking forward to listening to this the first album is amazing so I expect the second will be just as thoughtful. Just as well read and giving a bit of hope within his music. Jarvis Cocker speaks for the people in my opinion and his music reflects that.
