Pop, Iggy - Zombie Birdhouse

RARE/2HAND VINYL LP ON CHRYSALIS 1982

Chrysalis CHR 1399 made in Sweden.

Vinyl EX. Cover VG+.

With the help of Chris Stein (Blondie), Iggy Pop attempts a self-consciously eclectic musical exploration with Zombie Birdhouse. By and large, the attempts are admirable, as Iggy turns in a set of songs that range from social commentary and urban folk to bizarre poetry and philosophical ruminations. Instead of singing, Iggy alterantely raps and sings over sonic backdrops that have touches of hard rock, folk, and electronic music. It's an ambitious effort that never quite works and keeps listeners at a distance. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iggy_Pop
