🎶Ik she already has a cult following and as a loyal member of that cult I feel the need to reiterate that Preacher’s Daughter is one of the greatest works of art to come out in the last decade

every time I give this a relisten I’m always shocked by how consistently great it is as an album. Obviously, “The Idiot” gets a tonne of praise and deservedly so, and even though this album helms a lot of Iggy Pop’s most popular singles, I never see people talking about it as an album and what it does brilliantly.
even with “The Idiot”, Iggy Pop was very much performing under David Bowie wing and environment- a lot of dark and brooding electronics and atmosphere which complimented Iggy well but, here he is definitively Iggy Pop.
I think people forget that “punk” music (which Iggy hated the label of) doesn’t necessarily fall into a genre, more so an attitude of performance. This is proved time and time again in this album, as Iggy covers styles of hard rock, blues rock, ballads and soul- all unmistakably polished with a punk edge.
Punk isn’t the music you play, just how you play it (at least I think so), and it’s so obvious that Iggy and the band just had a blast recording and performing this, they don’t take themselves seriously, if anything, poking fun at the restrictions of rock and pop songwriting in the process. Yet, the album never feels like it’s smarter than you, it’s inviting you in to feel the excitement.
Such a blast of a record, if you need a pick-me-up like I did today, give this a whirl!

📱This app really has helped me get things off my chest and improve my confidence, not to sound like a suck up but this app has helped me think more positively.

The best blanks you could get, they fit perfectly and wash really well. 10/10 on their quality for sure. I would love if everyone printed their stuff on Comfort Colors.
