Jarv Is… is a band led by Jarvis Cocker, featuring members Serafina Steer (harp, keyboards, vocals), Emma Smith (violin, guitar, vocals), Andrew McKinney (bass, vocals), Jason Buckle (synthesiser and electronic treatments), and Adam Betts (drums, percussion, vocals). The band formed to perform at the Sigur Ros “Norður og Niður” festival in Iceland at the end of 2017. Jarv Is… was created as a collaborative songwriting project with their audience. To track the evolution of their material, they recorded their live shows. After performing at the Desert Daze festival in California, Geoff Barrow (of Portishead and Beak>) suggested using these recordings as the foundation for an album. Overdubs and vocals were added at Narcissus Studios in Neasden, London, with post-production taking place at Jason Buckle’s Place du Big Boss studio in Raynes Park, London.
