Iggy Pop - Post Pop Depression

180-gram vinyl plus album download

New collaboration between Iggy Pop and Joshua Homme (Queens Of The Stone Age, Eagles Of Death Metal)

Post Pop Depression is a collaborative album written by Iggy Pop and Joshua Homme and features musicians Iggy Pop, Joshua Homme, Dean Fertita, and Matt Helders. The album is produced by Joshua Homme.

Its existence having been revealed to the world via a one-two punch of an appearance on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" and exclusive profile in The New York Times, it can now be announced that Iggy Pop's new album Post Pop Depression (Rekords Rekords/Loma Vista/Caroline International) will be supported by a very limited run of one-time-only live performances in specially selected venues. The Post Pop Depression tour will mark the sole occasion that the album lineup of Iggy, producer/guitarist/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist/bandleader Joshua Homme, Homme's Queens Of The Stone Age bandmate and Dead Weather-man Dean Fertita and Arctic Monkeys drummer Matt Helders — augmented by QOTSA multi-instrumentalist Troy Van Leeuwen and journeyman guitarist/bassist Matt Sweeney — will perform this material, as well as classics spanning Iggy's legendary solo career, in a live setting.

Post Pop Depression is equal parts a dream come true for co-creator Homme as it is a record that defiantly takes its place in Iggy's storied discography alongside the twin towers of The Idiot and Lust For Life — two records and the mythic Berlin era of their creation canonized as much lyrically ("German Days") as sonically ("Sunday") on this new record. The album is a singular work that bears its creators' undeniable sonic DNA while sounding like nothing they've done before. It's a record that wouldn't exist without either Pop or Homme — and one that probably shouldn't in theory if you really think about it — but it does, and we and rock ‘n' roll are all the better for it, writes Glide Magazine.
