IGGY POP Signs With ANDREW WATT's Gold Tooth Label; "Frenzy" Single Available Next Week

Variety is reporting that  Atlantic Records and Andrew Watt’s Gold Tooth Records have launched a joint venture with Iggy Pop as their first signing. The punk icon will be releasing his as-yet-untitled new album through the label, with the first single, “Frenzy,” arriving October 28.

“I’m the guy with no shirt who rocks; Andrew and Gold Tooth get that, and we made a record together the old-fashioned way,” said Pop in a statement announcing the partnership. “The players are guys I’ve known since they were kids and the music will beat the shit out of you. Have a great day.”

Pop’s album will feature production from Grammy Award-winning producer Watt and is his first full-length studio effort since Free in 2019, via Loma Vista.

“We’re incredibly excited to welcome Andrew and Gold Tooth into the Atlantic family,” added Atlantic Records chairman and CEO Craig Kallman. “As a brilliant producer and stellar musician, Andrew has the gift of elevating every project into a work of art. And, of course, we’re over the moon to have the legendary and phenomenal Iggy Pop as our first joint signing. Iggy’s groundbreaking work forever changed the rock landscape, and he continues to make boundary-crashing music. This also marks his return to the Warner family, more than 50 years after he made his recording debut with the Stooges on our sister label Elektra. Iggy’s never stopped evolving, and he’s made a fantastic album that we can’t wait for the world to hear.”

Said Watt: “Iggy Pop is a fucking icon. A true original. The guy invented the stage dive..I still can’t believe he let me make a record with him. I am honored. It doesn’t get cooler. This album was created to be played as loud as your stereo will go…turn it up and hold on…”
