Après

Consisting partly of covers sung in French,^[2] it was released on 9 May 2012 on Thousand Mile Inc^[3] after the album was rejected by Virgin EMI Records. Pop said his record company would have 'preferred that I do a rock album with popular punks' and that "They didn't think they would make any money, they didn't think my fans would like it - very sensible attitudes for a sensible sort of person - but that's a different sort of person than I am."^[4]

The album has been described as containing ″crooning vocals, Cole Porter covers, soft melodies, and an all-around sense of everything suave″.^[5]

When asked by Bill Flanagan if he had heard any good records lately, Bob Dylan mentioned Après.^[6]

The cover photo is referring to the figure La Conscience played by Iggy Pop in the French movie L'Étoile du jour (Morning Star) by Sophie Blondy.
