Leaves Of Grass, by Iggy Pop / Tarwater / Alva Noto 7 track album

This release is old but I was astonished a) to find Iggy Pop and Carsten Nicolai together on a Walt Whitman collaboration and b) to find how much I enjoyed it. morrmusic.bandcamp.com/album/leaves...

It was great. Also - surprisingly - a sell-out. Support act was Beckett’s wordless Quad.
