Iggy Pop stars in indie artist Tim Arnold's new video - WATCH

The godfather of punk, Iggy Pop, really likes the music of Tm Arnold, a veteran indie artist who recently wrote some songs for his latest film - "Blood Orange", in which Iggy plays the role of an ageing rock star troubled by his promiscuous wife (Kacey Barnfield) reigniting her romance with an ex-boyfriend (Ben Lamb).

He compared Arnold to the great David Bowie and he told "NME" about the artist's work on the film:

They sent along a demo which Tim had done in a home studio. It had a noir, detective movie guitar riff that comes and goes, but mainly four notes of a very plaintive, simple saxophone theme, just four forlorn notes. It could have been an outtake from ‘Kind of Blue’ by Miles Davis, or maybe side two of ‘Low’ by Bowie and Brian Eno. I liked it and they redid it with real musicians, which roughened it up. It reminded me a little of some things that Chet Baker did. I thought it was a real nice theme, effective for the film.

And Arnold explained:

I know the people who made "Blood Orange", but Iggy handpicked my songs as the ones he wanted to sing in the film. That’s very flattering.


Iggy Pop in the film sings a few songs: all were writen by Arnold. The Stooges frontman also featured in the video for Arnold's track "Money kills love":
