Description
Punk and nostalgia’s chokehold on current culture seems to be grasping even tighter as of late. Recent music festival lineups, like Los Angeles’ Just Like Heaven and Las Vegas’ When We Were Young have rolled out sold-out events featuring post-punk and pop versions of the sound, headlined by artists like Interpol and My Chemical Romance. It’s now even made its way from the club stage to the runway.
The album has been described as containing ″crooning vocals, Cole Porter covers, soft melodies, and an all-around sense of everything suave″. [5] In March 2016, Pop released ‘Post Pop Depression’, a career highlight, and his first record to reach the Top 20 on the US Album charts in the United States. Co-written and produced by Josh Homme of Queens Of The Stone Age and featuring Arctic Monkeys drummer Matt Helders and LA multi-instrumentalist Dean Fertita, the album went on to receive a Grammy nomination for Best Alternative Music Album.

The cover photo is referring to the figure La Conscience played by Iggy Pop in the French movie L'Étoile du jour ( Morning Star) by Sophie Blondy. Not that Iggy shies away from all commercial plugs. He’s taken part in Gucci campaigns, lending his svelte aesthetic to the brand’s bright tailored suits. There was also his appearance in Swiftcover insurance ads in the ‘00s, which were called “misleading” by the Advertising Standards Authority and “embarrassing” by Pop. Ouch.
The Stooges records were inappropriately mastered. They sounded wimpy, but digital streaming and CDs has fixed that”Every Loser’ marks Pop’s first release on Atlantic’s partnership with Gold Tooth Records, the label founded by producer Andrew Watt, an avid Stooges fan and award-winning mastermind behind releases from Ozzy Osbourne, Miley Cyrus and Post Malone. Some really prosaic things lent themselves to that,” he says of the tide turning for his work. “Society and music in general went in a direction that made it easier for people to realise the virtues of the music I’m involved in,” he says, pointing to the popularity of hip-hop’s simple riffs and recent technological advances. It really surprises me. I always assumed there would be an arc and things would quiet down after I hit 65,” he says. “That hasn’t been the case.” And there's no redeeming the truly mediocre versions of 'Everybody's Talkin' and 'Michelle', which are amongst the worst stuff Iggy's ever done. Really just lazy in both performance, arrangement and song selection. To those who thought Preliminaires was fun - and I think it's one of the most enjoyable albums Iggy has done post 70s - there are elements to enjoy here particularly Iggy's take on 'La Vie En Rose'. And it's the songs in French that work best probably because they're less familiar to English speaking ears. But I don't think any one of them would have made the cut on his previous album and you can't help but think 'out-takes'.
