Revered musician/composer Danny Elfman is readying a remix album for his latest release “Big Mess“. Christened “Bigger. Messier.“, that set will be released on August 12th through Anti-/Epitaph Records and feature a host of guest appearances and remixes. Among the participants are Nine Inch Nails vocalist, etc. Trent Reznor, Iggy Pop, Fever 333, The Locust, Ghostemane, HEALTH, Boris, Boy Harsher and more.
An updated version of the track “Kick Me” featuring the legendary Iggy Pop has just been unveiled as the first single. You can find a video for it below.
Elfman said of his vision for “Bigger. Messier.“:
“At the onset of ‘Bigger. Messier.‘ I asked the same thing of every artist: ‘express me through your own eyes.’ Not only was I surprised at the artists that wanted to participate, but completely blown away by what everyone contributed. There’s a tremendous amount of diversity represented throughout, and I couldn’t be more excited to announce the record with Iggy’s version of ‘Kick Me,’ which not only serves as a reinvention of the song vocally, but instrumentally as well. This record became such an enjoyment of experimentation and relinquishing control of my own work in a way that I’ve never done before.”
