Iggy Pop has confirmed The Stooges are releasing their first new record together for thirty years.
The seminal garage-rock back, who split in 1973 after an incredibly influential three-LP career, have been recording with Nirvana producer Steve Albini and The White Stripes’ Jack White.
Talking of the new recording sessions, Pop tells Reuters, “All the same passions and problems are there. But the problems are in a more muted style. I'm still the show-off in the group that gets all the attention. Everyone has their role. It's pretty much the way it was in high school.”
He adds the band have still tried to “experiment” with their sound.
He says, “We experimented a lot. We're stubborn people. We could have just started out and in 10 minutes we would have sounded like us, but that would have been too easy. We'd have these get-togethers every two or three months for four or five days and bang out stuff. As time went on, it started to sound more and more like us.”
The album should be released next year and will be supported by a full tour.
