"Pulp capped off their big year by stopping by NPR's DC offices for an enthralling Tiny Desk Concert. Watch it below. According to the performance's description, the group psyched themselves up beforehand by singing, "This will be the very best Tiny Desk," in unison. Then, they launched into a career-spanning, four-song set featuring Jarvis Cocker getting off some stilted dance moves to accompany his deadpan vocals."
"The Britpop collective began with 1998 fan favorite "This Is Hardcore," before playing Different Class standout "Something Changed" and transitioning into "A Sunset" from their comeback album, . For the latter track, Cocker even had a prop on hand to accompany the lines, "So I bought myself a ticket/ To the happening of the year." Their set concluded with "Acrylic Afternoons" from their breakthrough 1994 album, His 'n' Hers."
