Pulp Album: “Sisters EP”

Babies ("I only went with her 'cos she looks like you, my God!) is probably Pulp's funniest single ever, if you listen to the story. Your Sister's Clothes is a masterpiece that picks up the characters a few years later, and I'm sure David's Last Summer (the closing track on the album His n Hers) has a place in here somewhere. "This kid called David..," remember?

On to the other two tracks. Seconds is reminiscent of Razzmatazz and O.U.(Gone, Gone). Jarvis Cocker's singing is just as desperate as on Happy Endings, She's A Lady, Have You Seen Her Lately and Someone Like The Moon. Seconds is different though - the chorus is gentler and all the better for it. Seconds is a marvellous track, that only fails to stand out because the other three tracks are so deserving of better adjectives than I can throw at them.

Finally, His n Hers should have been on the album that took its name, in place of the dreadful Joyriders. It seems to explain the lyrical content of every song until I Spy ("Take your Year In Provence, and I'm sure the next line will be censored by Amazon if I include it"). It's a slightly sleazy song reminiscent of Have You Seen Her Lately, but with a paranoid, psychotic edge to it that draws you deeper and deeper into the slightly twisted world of Pulp.

Buy this record for the overlooked masterpieces it contains and put it on 24 hours a day, but remember . . . shove it in sideways.

_The Sisters EP_ is just brilliant, and all of the songs on it are brilliant in different ways. "Babies" is pure pop fun, and, if you're a Pulp fan already, I'm sure you've heard it and have it memorized. I think that "Your Sister's Clothes" is darker, both lyrically and musically, but it's equally addictive. "Seconds" is a complete contrast; lyrically, it treks through despair to find the hope within, and musically, it's almost impossibly uplifting. As for "His 'N' Hers," I would say that it somehow manages to be even better than the rest. I inevitably feel happy after listening to this song, no matter how tired and discouraged I am beforehand. Pulp is so unbelievably good, and these four songs are some of their best productions!

While it may not be very long for an E.P but it's great! The first track is the single "Babies" from "His 'n' Hers" album. Next it has "Your Sister's Clothes" the sequel to "Babies" is great and it has "seconds" which is just as good. The only weak spot is "His 'n' Hers" (named after the album "Babies" is on) which is good but can not live up to the first three songs, still they have written worse and it could easily could have been on "His 'n' Hers". In the end if your a fan of Pulp you have to get this E.P. Note: Just incase you didn't know "Your Sister's Clothes", "Seconds", and "His 'n' Hers" are not avaliable on any CD's in America.^_^

This is quite good. I'd already heard Seconds and Your Sister's Clothes on Second Class (both good songs), but it's worth it just for the wonderful His'n'Hers, an overlooked classic and easily the best track here. Pulp fans gotta have it!
