Iggy Pop delivers new Bandcamp single "Dirty Little Virus"

After featuring on a French rendition of Elvis Costello's "No Flag" earlier this month, Iggy Pop has surprise-released his new track "Dirty Little Virus" via Bandcamp.

The Bandcamp page for the new single also features a clip of Iggy Pop discussing the track. He says, "I was moved to write a direct lyric, not something too emotional or deep, more like journalism - 'who, what, when where?' I left out the 'why' because that gets too complex, but I put in how I felt about it."

Iggy Pop continues, "It was a stopper for me. It's been the big thing happening in my life - and everybody else's, I reckon - for almost a year now. If there was still a man of the year, it'd be the virus."

Leron Thomas produced and co-wrote the song with Iggy Pop as well as contributing trumpet, while Chris Berry contributed drums from his home studio, and Ari Teitel played guitars and bass.
