专辑介绍：
假设之前没有确定这是 “朋克教父”Iggy Pop新专辑的话，刚开始听这张《Preliminaires》，或许会以为唱歌的人是Tom Waits或者Leonard Cohen。的确，Iggy Pop这次出其不意地将音乐风格转向了Jazz和Blues，他那历经沧桑的声线本就带着厚重的历史感觉，这次再配上这些慢悠悠的旋律，属于苍老的深邃味道，就这么被Iggy大叔带出来了。

人们总说爵士和电子是音乐人最终会步入的两个领域，而时年62岁的Iggy Pop，看来已经是欣欣然进入到了爵士这其中一个范畴当中了，再回想年轻时那个造出一片朋克、硬摇滚声浪的他，这种归隐似的转型显得平静又颇让人遐想。Iggy Pop的上张录音室专辑是2003年的《Skull Ring》，尽管那会儿的Iggy大叔年纪也不轻了，但还算鲜活有力地玩着朋克，拿《Preliminaires》对比之前的这张《Skull Ring》，那么显然《Preliminaires》就安静得多了。

当然，这张专辑的十二首歌曲并非都由Iggy Pop操刀，在最后一曲当中，Iggy Pop翻唱了相当著名的一曲Jazz歌谣《Les Feuilles Mortes (Marc's Theme)》
听了一下，真的好有那种历史沉淀的感觉，真的不是那种毛头小子能唱出来的，需要阅历很多很多！从听第一首歌开始，你就像进入了一个久远的年代，听着老式留声机发出的优雅的歌声，喝着咖啡，静静的，没人打扰，何等的惬意~

Post Pop Depression is the upcoming seventeenth studio album by Iggy Pop, set to be released on March 18, 2016, by Loma Vista Recordings. Produced by Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age, the album was recorded in secrecy and features contributions from Queens of the Stone Age's Dean Fertita and Arctic Monkeys drummer Matt Helders.

Brand new album of 10 cover versions, emanating from Iggy's increasing fascination with all things French. The album features songs originally by Serge Gainsbourg, Georges Brassens, Edith Piaf, Yves Montand and Joe Dassin sitting with those of Lennon/McCartney, Frank Sinatra, Yoko Ono, Cole Porter and Harry Nilsson. We see James Osterberg as 'The Singer', rather than the performer, turning attention to songs which have inspired him over the years.

艺伎婆婆的个人回忆性质精选

Iggy Pop joins principal players Leron Thomas and Noveller to create this uniquely sombre and contemplative entry in the Iggy Pop canon, shot through with a dark jazz noir at 3am kinda flavour, a departure from his last full-length record, 2016's heavily-muscled (and well-liked in all quarters, including Drift HQ), 'Post Pop Depression'. In the interim he also appeared with Underworld on their 'Tea-Time Dub Encounters' EP in 2018.
While it follows the highest charting album of Iggy’s career, 'Free' has virtually nothing in common sonically with its predecessor—or with any other Iggy Pop album.
Of this new piece of midnight subterfuge, Iggy says:
"This is an album in which other artists speak for me, but I lend my voice...
By the end of the tours following Post Pop Depression, I felt sure that I had rid myself of the problem of chronic insecurity that had dogged my life and career for too long.
But I also felt drained. And I felt like I wanted to put on shades, turn my back, and walk away. I wanted to be free. I know that’s an illusion, and that freedom is only something you feel, but I have lived my life thus far in the belief that that feeling is all that is worth pursuing; all that you need - not happiness or love necessarily, but the feeling of being free.
So this album just kind of happened to me, and I let it happen."

"Leaves Of Grass" is a collaborative EP between Tarwater, alva noto and Iggy Pop. Each of the seven featured tracks scores a poem by American wordsmith Walt Whitman. Iggy Pop contributes spoken word recordings, while Tarwater and alva noto create the music.
