The existence of the sublimely secretive desert opus conceived by Iggy Pop and Joshua Homme was confirmed yesterday to an unsuspecting studio and home audience of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert... And now the world at large can know: March 18th will see the release of "Post Pop Depression" - released via - Rekords Rekords/Loma Vista/Caroline International - the 17th Iggy Pop album.
"A lot of geezers my age don't work out of their comfort zone anymore because once you become legendary you don't want people challenging you" - Iggy Pop
The first Iggy Pop album co-created with producer/guitarist/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist/bandleader Homme, "Post Pop Depression" began with a succinctly worded text from Iggy to Joshua, and was realized in seclusion with Homme's enlisted aid of his Queens Of The Stone Age band-mate and Dead Weather-man Dean Fertitia and Arctic Monkeys drummer Matt Helders. You can listen to the track in full below.
Well it looks like Iggy Pop has a lust for life, and last night Iggy went down to Stephen Colberts 'The Late Show' with Arctic Monkeys' Matt Helders and QOTSA's Josh Homme to perfrom a new track off his forthcoming album "Post Pop Depression."
Iggy Pop and Josh Homme have recorded an album together in secret with Arctic Monkeys' Matt Helders most likely to be on the drumming duties. "Post Pop Depression" will be released in March, and it comes to no surprise that this is happening in the 'Arctic Monkeys' downtime.
Iggy Pop said - "This was to go where neither of us had gone before. That was the agreement. And to go all the way." Their début performance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert TONIGHT! 10:35c/11:35 on CBS. No doubt we will have a video of the performance tomorrow.
