American Caesar

Iggy Pop

A sprawling, seventy-minute document of nineties grit. Iggy Pop balances street-level cynicism with a deep, resonant baritone and jagged alternative rock riffs.

It's Iggy Pop playing a bloodthirsty Roman emperor in a 1990s dive bar.

A sprawling, cynical, and occasionally tender exploration of power and decay.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition from the spoken word 'Character' into the explosive, driving riff of 'Wild America' sets a tone of immediate confrontation.
The seven-minute slow burn of 'Hate' where the repetition of the title becomes a rhythmic, hypnotic meditation on bitterness.
The theatrical madness of the closing title track where Iggy adopts the persona of a bloodthirsty emperor over a chaotic soundscape.
