Josh Homme, who produced ‘Post-Pop Depression’, also explains some of his thinking behind working with Iggy Pop. “I think of Iggy as this beautiful grizzled piece of art, and my job was to put it back in the right frame,” he says. “Sometimes, to do that, you have to push.”

Speaking specifically about ”, Pop adds: “These were the hardest lyrics for me on the record. For a young man like Josh, “Break Into Your Heart” has a sense of “Here I come, baby!” But I don’t feel that way. Stealing a heart — that suits where I am in my life.”

The band will be playing select live dates around the globe, with Homme on record as saying they will only perform in “small, beautiful theaters where their presence might still seem disruptive.”
