Big surprise here: Iggy Pop’s record label isn’t interested in an album of French pop songs recorded by the perpetually shirtless Stooges frontman. Not that it’s stopping him, as the Guardian reports that he’ll self-release Après through digital retailers.
“What has a record company ever done for me but humiliate and torment and drag me down?” he said.
Après is actually Pop’s second bilingual album following 2009’s Préliminaires, which he said he recorded after becoming bored with “listening to idiot thugs with guitars banging out crappy music”.
