"Spike Island" is a song by English rock band Pulp. It was released on 10 April 2025 through Rough Trade Records. Produced by James Ford, it marked the first new music from the band in 12 years. It preceded More, the band's first new album in 24 years.
The song was released alongside a music video made using a text-to-video model. Frontman Jarvis Cocker attempted to animate the photography from 1995's Different Class using the model, before constructing a video out of its hallucinations. The song was met with critical acclaim, with most critics noting it as a triumphant return for the band. A 7" with the song and a bonus track, "Open Strings", was released on 23 May.
