Iggy Pop shares new collaborative EP with Belgian composer Catherine Graindorge

 

Iggy Pop has collaborated with Belgian composer and multi-instrumentalist Catherine Graindorge on a new EP – listen to ‘The Dictator’ below.

The pair first connected after Pop played two of Graindorge’s tracks on his BBC Radio 6 Music show.

The violinist followed up with an email asking if Pop would like to work on some music together — something, she says, of a shot to nothing.

“Catherine, I would love to make a track,” came the reply.
