New Values

Iggy Pop

A sharp pivot into new wave textures and urban minimalism. Iggy trades the chaos of the Stooges for a tight, cynical, and surprisingly melodic art-rock swagger.

April 20, 1979 · Arista

A jittery, cynical energy that balances art-rock sophistication with street-level grit.

Moments Worth Listening For
The hypnotic, synth-driven pulse of 'The Endless Sea' which provides a haunting contrast to the album's more jagged rockers.
Iggy's deadpan delivery on 'I'm Bored' where the boredom itself feels like a weapon.
The chaotic, driving energy of 'Five Foot One' capturing the claustrophobia of the city.
