Album Description

Iggy Pop, the iconic Rock 'N' Roll legend, joins forces with Berliner electronica duo Tarwater and renowned ambient producer Alva Noto to create a captivating collaborative EP, 'Leaves Of Grass'. Released on 5 February 2016 via Morr Music, this 23-minute, seven-track EP is a sonic interpretation of American poet Walt Whitman's timeless poetry. Iggy Pop's distinctive voice brings Whitman's vivid, sensual free verse to life, while Tarwater and Alva Noto craft a soundscape that perfectly complements the poet's words.

The result is a unique blend of proto-punk and glam rock elements, with Iggy Pop's spoken word recordings taking centre stage. From the opening track, 'As Adam Early In The Morning / I Am he That Aches With Love', to the closing 'Leaves Of Grass', the EP is a masterful fusion of music and poetry. With its limited edition release of 500 copies, 'Leaves Of Grass' is a must-listen for fans of Iggy Pop, Tarwater, and Alva Noto, as well as those who appreciate the works of Walt Whitman. This collaborative effort is a testament to the power of interdisciplinary art, and its impact is sure to be felt by anyone who experiences it.
