Danger Mouse & Iggy Pop: New Song
Danger Mouse and Iggy Pop have just collaborated on “Gold,” the haunted title song from a new movie thriller directed by Stephen Gaghan. The song is rooted in a spaghetti-Western theme from the film score by Daniel Pemberton, and Danger Mouse’s admiration for the understated, emotional snarl he remembered from Iggy’s “I Want to Go to the Beach” (from 2009’s Preliminaires). “It’s almost spoken but the personality’s there, and it’s just dark,” he says.
