NEW Iggy Pop single “King Of The Dogs” + ‘Preliminaires’ album

“King of the Dogs,” the lead single from Iggy Pop’s forthcoming album ‘Préliminaires’, was released digitally on May 5th through all digital retailers including Amazon, iTunes and Rhapsody.
Rolling Stone included the song on their “Hot List” calling it “Magnifique,” and adding that “on this Big Easy-style single from his French-novel-inspired new disc, Ig gets his Tom Waits on.” The track is also currently being featured on Stereogum.
“King of the Dogs” was inspired by New Orleans style jazz, with an arrangement featuring trumpet, trombone and clarinet. “At one point, I just got sick of listening to idiot thugs with guitars banging out crappy music,” says Iggy. “I’ve started listening to a lot of New Orleans-era, Louis Armstrong, Jelly Roll Morton type of jazz.”
‘Préliminaires’, which will be released in the U.S. on EMI Music’s Astralwerks label on June 2, 2009, was produced by Hal Cragin and inspired by French author Michel Houellebecq’s 2005 novel The Possibility of an Island.
Iggy will also be performing at the fifth annual MusiCares MAP Fund benefit concert honoring Red Hot Chili Peppers lead singer Anthony Kiedis, which takes place at club Nokia in Los Angeles on May 8th.
