Electronica vets The Crystal Method are gearing up to release The Trip Out, their first album in four years. The album's closing track, "Post Punk," is a collaboration with producer Hyper -- a classic, throbbing Big Beat banger that features Iggy Pop. His unmistakable voice, rattling off lines like " “I don’t want to be a punk, I don’t want to belong to any of it" are actually sampled from footage in Jim Jarmusch's Iggy Pop documentary Gimme Danger.
The Crystal Method's Justin Kirkland told Rolling Stone's David Brown it took a while to get clearance for the samples, and just afterwards he had a chance meeting run-in with Jarmusch while DJing in a NYC club. “It was that hair, and that look of his,” Kirkland told Rolling Stone. “He said he heard the track and apologized for the delays. He said, ‘I was on vacation, but the track’s great.’ He was super-warm and generous.”
