about

‘Jarvis Put The Record On’ is inspired by a chance encounter with Pulp legend Jarvis Cocker, as Borg explains, “In our first year in Berlin we had tried to get tickets for a screening of Life, Death and Supermarkets (the documentary on Pulp’s final performance) but tickets sold out too fast.

“We chanced it anyway hoping to get in at least for the Q&A and afterparty. While hanging around with a glass of wine, we ended up meeting Jarvis himself (who was avoiding the actual screening). He was such a funny and down to earth guy and he played a killer DJ set. The encounter never left our memories and Alexandra's greatest regret is not skipping her art school finals to watch one of Pulp's last shows.”

Borg’s response to this meeting was to pen a song, “in the vague hope that one day he will hear it and crack out another album.”

Since the song was released he has returned with JARV IS. “maybe we managed to convince him, who knows?” adds Aquilina.

Built on a cheap Casio Keyboard purchased in a second-hand shop and influenced by Pavement, Belle and Sebastian, Mac Demarco and, of course, Pulp, it is a classic piece of quirk-pop, driven by vivid lyrical storytelling. The lo-fi eccentricity of the track was cemented when the keyboard died after recording the initial demo. Because of that, this one-take keyboard track forms a large part of the finished track adding something quirky to the final recording.

The B-side ‘Me and My 909’ is built around another piece of technology, Borg’s TR909 drum machine. Recorded in one take he aimed to “write a song with the most basic beat to enhance the beauty of this machine.” And it achieves this goal taking a slowed-down version of New Order’s electronic indie template and infusing the influence of listening to Slowdive on repeat.
