Iggy Pop's 2009 release, PRELIMINAIRES, is certainly one of the more ambitious projects of his long and infamous career. Inspired in part by the writings of French author Michele Houellebecq, the album is more broadly a tip of the cap to the sensuality of French culture. Stylistically diverse, PRELIMINAIRES finds the proto-punk icon touching on New Orleans second-line brass ("King of the Dogs"), bluesy acoustic numbers ("He's Dead/She's Alive"), and, naturally, chanson ("Les Feuilles Mortes"). Iggy has always possessed a slithery baritone croon, and the jazzy noir qualities of PRELIMINAIRES allow him to indulge this often underrated quality in his voice. While there might be some arguable clunkers here, PRELIMINAIRES is ultimately a late-career creative gamble that pays off--positioning Iggy as an outlaw musician more in line with the likes of Scott Walker and Serge Gainsbourg than the legions of snot-nosed punks he inspired.
