”Anyone can see the pain and terror in these monkeys’ eyes. No one should have to suffer like this,” says Iggy Pop.

”The five of us talk about what kind of influences and sounds we want to incorporate. We end up sharing and talking about so much different music over our group texts or in the van… this playlist is some of those songs, some classics and just some recent great tracks we’ve been digging…”
