Iggy Pop and Josh Homme have unveiled another new cut from their upcoming collaborative album, Post Pop Depression. Check out 'Break Into Your Heart' below.
Last week, the punk icon and Queens Of The Stone Age icon suprised the world when they revealed that they had been making the record in secret - with the album harking back to Pop's 'Lust For Life' days - before dropping the exquisite lead track 'Gardenia'.
Now the outfit, also featuring Arctic Monkeys' Matt Helders on drums and The Dead Weather's Dean Fertita on bass, have revealed 'Break Into Your Heart' - anoter dose of Bowie-esque experimental darkness, with a dose of QOTSA meets Tom Waits menace. It's really good.
"I wanted to be free," said Iggy of the collaboration. "To be free, I needed to forget. To forget, I needed music. Josh had that in him, so I set out to provoke an encounter-first with a carefully worded text, followed by a deluge of writings all about me. No composer wants to write about nothing. He got revved up and we had a great big rumble in the desert USA.”
Post Pop Depression will be released on 18 March.
The tracklist is as follows:
1) Break into Your Heart
2) Gardenia
3) American Valhalla
4) In The Lobby
5) Sunday
6) Vulture
7) German Days
8) Chocolate Drops
9) Paraguay
Speaking of their hopes to tour the record, Homme added: “There won’t be hardly any shows, and they won’t be in big places, and you won’t be able to get a ticket,” Mr. Homme said. “So almost everyone won’t see it. It will be like trying to catch smoke in your hands. And that makes it even better. It will be special, and it will be over in the blink of an eye.”
