Hello and welcome to the first Trve. Cvlt. Pop! of 2023. Steve and Sam have had a lovely rest, thanks for asking, although Steve did lose his voice. As you'll hear from the croaky tones he's giving out. 

Still, no time to be ill though! We've got a load of stuff to talk about! There's a review of the latest album from Iggy Pop, we reflect on the sad passing of Faithless' Maxi Jazz and look back at some of the albums that we missed in 2022. It's a right mixed bunch, from Sugababes, Brutus, Big Thief, Neneh Cherry, Leftfield, Scene Queen, Colour TV, Vince Staples, Kai Whiston and Rosalia.
