Iggy Pop surprised us all in 2016, with his from-out-of-nowhere belter of an LP, 'Post Pop Depression'. This year, the focus of Iggy's attention has been on a series of guest slots on other artists records. Not all of them have hit the spot - I'm yet to be won over by the charms of his vocal on the Songhoy Blues track 'Sahara' for example, but elsewhere he's put in impressively intense performances on 'Aggrophobe' by Manchester's Pins and Oneohtrix Point Never's 'The Pure and the Damned'.

Love the Pins track, great. He's a master of that sinister spoken word - reminds me also of Aisha by Death In Vegas which gives me the chills!
Top PINS tune. Songhoy Blues don;t capture there live sound and feel on record, the albums are a bit disappointing.
'All Hail' by Pins, 'Aggrophobe', is one of my tracks of the year so far. Hopefully there'll be a new LP before long.
Liking the The Pure and the Damned track. Iggy is beginning to sound like Leonard Cohen! There's also a new song he contributed to the Gold soundtrack which is good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpI9Cckh1tc
Both of these are excellent, Pins especially.
Spot on Iggy. The Pins track comes up as some Spanish Cartoon...weird. I still checked it out and glad i did
