Namely: Jane’s Addiction Dave Navarro, Eric Avery and Chris Chaney, Pearl Jam Stone Gossard and drummers Travis Barker and Taylor Hawkins, omnipresent in songs and memories.
Starting from that base, we can already talk about the new album by La Iguana, Every Loser”, the nineteenth of his personal account. Running for just over half an hour, the eleven songs that comprise it oscillate between the fury of the wild days and the eighties melodic refinement of the Bowie years, courtesy of the production of the young Andrew Watt.
frenzya gritted-tooth rock and roll with Velvet Revolver overtones, opens the plate with a guitar blast, a path that reappears in Modern Day Ripoff, whose riff exudes Asheton blood, the gurus of the Stooge sound. Fury is also present in Neo Punk, start of the second bunch of songs and the toughest song on the album. The band, here, stands out for being tight and aggressive.
Iggy, on the other hand, has another bullet in the magazine: his low register. That voice born in the most famous ribcage in the world, which moves by alternating recitations and melodies. Proof of this are the sense Morning Showthe macabre My Animus and New Atlantis which, composed on a piano solfeggio and a ganchera melody, stinks of hit.
groover and rockerAll the way down swim in stone waters, while comments seems to have come out of some Billy Idol pocket, with a danceable chorus, dominated by a supersonic hi hat (thanks Joy Division) and lyrics that proclaim “Sell your face to HollywoodIt’ll do ya good, do ya good”.
The theme paves the way for the closing of the album with Regencyperhaps the most complex song, whose rhythm changes, arpeggiated guitars and spatial atmosphere take her through different moods until they dissolve at the end of the entire work.
La Iguana puts the bow on a round job like this, which shows him in his best shape, and together with a luxury crew, returning to him the frenzy of the chaotic days of The Stooges and the refinement he knew how to harvest alone.
Every Loser is their way of hitting the table: here I am, Iggy Pop, and in January they already have one of the albums of the year.
