Jarvis Cocker, the once-upon-a-time voice of Pulp and now solo explorer, is fine with going back in time. Not just musically- although "You're in My Eyes (Discosong)" is a sunny slice carved off the bloody side of 1979, and "Leftovers" is knowingly reminiscent of Pulp's "Common People"- but also sexually. He must be pushing mumbledy-some years by now, but that 23 year old "Angela" girl still has the young flesh he'll like to sink his teeth in. Still seedy, funny, and a little snarly in that glam way, (treasure his breakdown at the end of "Homewrecker"), Jarvis makes it safe for aging Brit-pop lovers to get back to the dancing even as the worries of impending divorces and recessional firings circle outside the club. It's frothy, fun stuff, but then he never said he was deep.
