UKNY For July 29
Underworld's Karl Hyde and Rick Smith with Iggy Pop (photo by Rob Ashton Baker, PR)
Iggy Pop drops some idiosyncratic advice, gruff reminiscences, and wry nuggets across the sprawling four tracks that encompass the far-too-brief Teatime Dub Encounters, a buoyant EP with Underworld's Rick Smith and Karl Hyde. (Smith cleverly hijacked Pop in a posh London hotel.) The ever-brilliant Essex electronic duo and the droll Miami sage have pulled off one of the most delightfully unexpected collaborations of the summer.
On UKNY at 11, something from that just-released gem plus new offerings from Manchester's Virginia Wing, the London duo IDER, Bristol's furious IDLES, and the trio Linda Guilala from Vigo, Spain.
