IGGY POP: NEW ALBUM ANNOUNCED

by MythofRock

In the wake of the ecstatic reaction to its appropriately titled opening track and first single “Frenzy, it can now be revealed that Iggy Pop will unleash his new album, “Every Loser”, on January 6, 2023.

“Every Loser” is Iggy’s 19th solo album and his first to be released via the recently announced partnership between Atlantic Records and Gold Tooth Records, the new label founded by the album’s Grammy Award-winning, multi-platinum executive producer Andrew Watt.

“I’m the guy with no shirt who rocks; Andrew and Gold Tooth get that, and we made a record together the old-fashioned way,” Iggy said in a recent statement. “The players are guys I’ve known since they were kids and the music will beat the shit out of you.”

As indicated by the pinned db meters of “Frenzy”, “Every Loser” harkens back to Iggy’s primordial roots while maintaining an undeniably modern lyrical point viewpoint and sonic palette. “Every Loser” is an exemplary album of primal rock ‘n’ roll — a master class in the art of lashing out with unequalled intensity and unflappable wit. The result is 11 songs by the man who refused to go gently into that good night on his previous album, 2019’s somber and contemplative “Free”, and is once again charging fearlessly at life itself on “Every Loser”.

Watt said: “Iggy Pop is a fucking icon. A true original. The guy invented the stage dive. I still can’t believe he let me make a record with him. I am honored. It doesn’t get cooler. This album was created to be played as loud as your stereo will go…turn it up and hold on…”

The cover of “Every Loser” is an original piece of art created by world renowned contemporary fine artist Raymond Pettibon. Pettibon burst onto the scene in the late 1970s and designed iconic album covers for artists such as SONIC YOUTH and BLACK FLAG with his signature comic book-like drawings. Pettibon’s work has been exhibited widely throughout the United States and around the world, including an installation of the High Line billboard in New York and a solo exhibition at the Tel Aviv Museum Of Art.
“Every Loser” will also be available as limited-edition vinyl, cassettes and CDs. As part of the release, Iggy is offering an exclusive relaunch of legendary fanzine Punk Magazine from founder and legendary editor John Holstrom with a full Iggy issue, which contains an exclusive interview with Iggy by Flea. Iggy originally graced the cover of the John Holstrom fanzine in July 1976.
