His N Hers

'His 'n' Hers' is the fourth studio album by Pulp and was the first to be released on a major label. It was originally released in 1994 and together with its follow-up 'Different Class', it is one of the highlights of '90s 'Britpop'. Its influences emanate from old glam and post-punk records, with the hooks and immediacy of perfect pop - it was sensual yet intellectual, cheap yet sophisticated, retro yet modern - with each seeming paradox giving the music weight instead of weighing it down: with Jarvis Cocker's wry comments on life in Sheffield, where desperation, sex, and crime are always on the surface, creating evocative images with an appropriate amount of drama and a surplus of flair.
